Tamara : a play / John Krizanc ; conceived by Richard Rose and John Krizanc.

xiv, 349 pages ; 22 cm.

In the late twenties in Fascist Italy, the poet, war hero, and lothario Gabriele d’Annunzio waits in his opulent villa — a gift from Benito Mussolini in return for his political silence — for the arrival of the artist Tamara de Lempicka, who is to paint his portrait. What follows is a haunting tale of art, sex, violence, and the meaning of complicity in an authortarian state, all directed by the reader. In this nonlinear play, it is the audience members who decide which characters to follow and which narratives to experience.
