Elliot to Appear in Oscar Wilde Play

Oct 09, 2009 14:05

Elliot will be appearing in the unfinished Oscar Wilde play A Florentine Tragedy. The performance will take place on Sunday, October 11, at Palazzo Davanzati in Florence. The performance is presented by Syracuse University in Florence, a study-abroad program, along with the British Institute and New York University. As a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, Elliot will be joining fellow British actors Rob Cameron and Devon Black in this one-time performance.

Description of the play (from Wikipedia):A Florentine Tragedy is a fragment of a never-completed play by Oscar Wilde. The subject concerns Simone, a wealthy 16th century Florentine merchant who finds his wife Bianca in the arms of a local prince, Guido Bardi. After feigning hospitality, Simone challenges the interloper to a duel, disarms, and strangles him. This awakens the affection of his wife, and the two are reconciled.
