Fresco

Book, music & Lyrics by Olivia Mace

​

In 1504 when Leonardo Da Vinci was coming to the end of his career and Michelangelo was at the peak of his, both artists were commissioned to create works for the Hall of the 500 in Florence. Each was asked to paint a famous battle.

 

Leonardo was a flamboyant non-conformist. Michelangelo was a religious zealot and a celibate. Both men were celebrated, both were geniuses, both were gay. 

This play with music tells the story of the short time those two men spent in each other’s company.
