FACEBOOK POSTING JULY 29,2018
Today was the last performance of Margherita. We had the best reviews in our history, but attendance was modest. The cast (Emily Canavan, Bob Cohen, Sam Simon, and James McDaniel) and director Beatrix Whitehall were not only talented but a pleasure to work with. Stage manage Iva Zincha and lighting designer Tommy Zanner helped make the production a success
Margherita Sarfatti and Benito Mussolini former lovers, meet after a three-year separation. Through a series of mysterious events, he plays with her mind. He knows what she wants - to get quietly and safely out of Italy. She is well aware of what he wants- the 1300 intimate letters he sent her during their 25-year affair.

Emily gave a wonderful portrayal of a complex character. I was completely drawn into the emotional setting. Bob Cohen added intensity to Emily's more measured delivery. The pairing was near perfect. Jim and Sam were up to their usual high standards of course.
Bravo
