About The Event
Exploration of Longing and Love
Based on Elizabeth Spencer's 1960 novella, the story centers around Margaret Johnson, a wealthy woman from the American South, and her daughter, Clara, as they navigate a transformative trip to Florence, Italy in the 1950s. As she discovers Clara's blossoming love affair with the charming Fabrizio, Margaret is forced to reconsider not only Clara's future, but her own deep-seated hopes and regrets that stretch into the painful past. With a Tony-winning melodic score and themes of love and self-discovery, Sankofa’s production of Light in the Piazza will prove to be a lush, emotional experience that speaks to the wanderers and romantics in all of us.
