Lapis Blue Blood Red
by Cathy Caplan
Synopsis
Based on the tumultuous life of Italian Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi, Lapis Blue Blood Red dramatizes an extraordinary woman's struggle to define herself in the face of overwhelming personal and social odds.
The play samples from Gentileschi's letters and the official text of the trial of the man accused of raping her and stealing one of her paintings, unveiling the passion and complexity of a true 17th century story.
