Gratiano

Just how did Mussolini managed to use democracy to turn a people against themselves? This is the question on Gratiano's mind.

Now older, wiser, bitterer he finds himself under suspicion of Bassanio's murder and is forced to revisit his Fascist past. As one of Mussolini's Black Shirts he was never a hero – just a minor character, just the plucky comic relief – but he never thought he played the villain. A story of hate, love and redemption set amongst the turmoil of post war Italy.

From the team behind The Fox, the Slipper and the Severed Head and Moby Dick also playing at The Rotunda Theatre.
