About this book

A wedding celebration in Naples becomes an argument about the stars, ancient philosophy and the authority of the Church. Set around 1570, Cale Young Rice's verse play places Porzia and her husband, Rizzio di Rossi, among scholars and relatives divided over faith and intellectual freedom. Rizzio welcomes ideas that his brother Osio condemns as heresy. The terrace, garden and view across the bay give the opening festivities a vivid physical setting.

Religious dispute soon carries a personal edge as Osio claims a right to protect Porzia and Bianca challenges his treatment of their betrothal. The dialogue moves between playful exchanges and sharp accusations, with stage directions tracing shifts in mood and movement.
