| Synopsis: | Passion, poison, and the fear of forever collide in this dark comedy, winner of the 2005 Toronto Fringe Festival's New Play Award. In Renaissance Italy, when the infamous Borgia family loses its power, their enemies seek revenge - but you can't break the law of unintended consequences. These people don't sin small. Bella Donna, which also won a Best Stage Play award from the Moondance International Film Festival in 2004, is the first production of Some Strange Reason, a Toronto company founded by playwright David Copelin. Some Strange Reason's next project will be David's new and even darker comedy, The Rabbi of Ragged Ass Road, which dramatizes a clash of spiritualities in the one-of-a-kind world of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. Watch for it! | |||||
