The Florentine

The Florentine is an iconic story of deception and revenge; however, beneath the surface, spawned from the fears and doubts of everyday life, is a journey into the dark recesses of human insecurity. The play focuses on a seemingly average photo technician who unexpectedly finds himself living the same day over and over again, first as Anthony, devout but sickly husband and father, then as the direct descendent of Niccolo Machiavelli, Anthony “The Florentine” Pangellini, a crime boss at the center of a deadly blackmail plot. What begins as a twisted scheme designed to part a man from his money quickly morphs into an ever-evolving nightmare, where Anthony struggles to maintain his sanity and idenity at his own peril as well as that of everyone around him.
