This sweeping historical drama charts the tragic career of Giulio Caesare Vanini (1585-1619), an Italian philosopher. In this telling, he is recruited by the Vatican for an impossible mission: stopping the Thirty Years War by reconciling Catholic and Protestant antagonisms in key European countries. Directing is Alexander Harrington, who has collaborated with playwright Douglas Lackey on four prior plays and shares his interest in historical drama. All of Lackey’s previous plays have been praised for their deft mixtures of philosophy, romance and politics.
