Description
In It's True, It's True, It's True, Breach Theatre presents a poignant exploration of the historical plight of Artemisia Gentileschi, the Baroque painter whose rape by Agostino Tassi was tried in Rome in 1612. This powerful play is based on true events, blending historical facts with an emotional narrative that resonates with contemporary themes of women's rights and artistic expression.
The Story
Based on surviving court transcripts, the play restages the seven-month trial of Agostino Tassi that gripped Renaissance Rome, and asks how much has changed in the four centuries since. Blending myth, history and contemporary commentary, it tells the story of how Artemisia took revenge through her art and became one of the most successful painters of her generation. Breach Theatre brings to life Artemisia's fierce spirit and determination to reclaim her narrative.
