Synopsis

THE STORY: Freely adapted from Matthew Lewis' eighteenth-century gothic novel, The Monk , AMBROSIO, the play, deftly transposes our own contemporary concerns about sexuality, desire and abstinence on to the original novel's voluptuous setting

Themes American Drama

Press Reviews

"In a vivid departure from the hypnotic and spiritual folk plays that have confirmed Romulus Linney as one of America's premiere playwrights, comes a work about the Spanish Inquisition's reign of terror and religious persecution, and how it led to the death-by-fire of a fanatical sixteenth-century monk whose vows of celibacy could not hold and instead gave way to rape and murder. “With its intelligence and acuity about crises of faith, AMBROSIO is a play that would honor any of our major theaters."

— The New York Times
