Bonfires And Vanities

Synopsis:
Candida Cave's historical Drama, set in Renaissance Italy, is stifled by the decorous surroundings of Burgh House. Cave's plot takes the enmity between the Florentine Medicis and the Roman Borgias, and throws into the mix the radical Dominican priest, Girolamo Savonarola.

Savonarola

Synopsis:
a juicy mouthful of friars and fires, popes and painters, harlots and zealots, all wrapped up in a struggle between spiritual darkness and secular splendour. Cave's sharply intelligent script ties its numerous conflicts into a pretty tight Dramatic knot.

Still Lives

Synopsis:
Cave's haunting new play tells the story of three women: augustus's sister Gwen John, his wife Ida Nettleship and his "muse" (read lover) Dorelia McNeill. Cave paints a touchingly vivid picture of satellite lives condemned by public expectation and personal weakness to live as "inspirations".
