Passion is a one-act musical adapted from Ettore Scola’s film Passione d’Amore, which in turn was based on the novel Fosca by Iginio Ugo Tarchetti. Set in Risorgimento-era Italy, the story follows a young soldier whose life shifts when he becomes entangled in an intense relationship with Fosca, the ailing cousin of his commanding officer. The musical premiered on Broadway in 1994 and received 10 Tony Award nominations, winning four including Best Musical.
The creative team for Passion will include James Esposito (scenic and sound design), Devin Harris (lighting design), Shon LeBlonc (costume design), Mary Zastrow (intimacy director), and Mara Aguilar (stage manager).
