Who was Beatrice Cenci? Victim or Murderess? Sinner or Saint? Violated Virgin or
Calculating Seductress?
In 1598, they found her father’s body, presumably the victim of an accident. But
even in those days, there was la scientifica della polizia (CSI) and soon it was
clear that Francesco Cenci had been murdered.
Dozens of stories swirled around the notorious Cenci family…
incest…greed…violence…promiscuity….
Beatrice’s story fascinated Shelley, Dumas, Hawthorne, Stendhal and Artaud.
Now, 5 playwrights collaborate to examine the possibilities.
Join us as we develop BELLE PARRICIDE through readings and discussions!
