66 - It's True, It's True, It's True: Artemisia on Trial

A gripping dramatisation of the 1612 trial of the Pope’s favourite artist Agostino Tassi for the rape of the young painter Artemisia Gentileschi. Based on surviving court transcripts, Breach Theatre’s award-winning show blends history, myth & contemporary commentary to ask: how much has really changed in the last 4 centuries? Filled with rage, shot through with satire, this critically-acclaimed play shines a spotlight on a remarkable woman – one of the most successful painters of her generation.
