Play:</span></b> THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA takes place in Italy in the
summer of 1953. Margaret Johnson, the wife of a well-heeled American
businessman, is touring the Tuscan countryside with her daughter, Clara. While
sightseeing, Clara, a beautiful yet surprisingly childish young woman, loses
her hat in a sudden gust. As if guided by an unseen hand, the hat lands at the
feet of Fabrizio Naccarelli, a handsome Florentine, who returns it to Clara.
This brief episode, charged with coincidence and fate, sparks an immediate and
intense romance between Clara and Fabrizio. <br>
Margaret, extremely protective of her daughter, attempts to keep Clara and
Fabrizio apart. As THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA unfolds, a secret is revealed: in
addition to the cultural differences between the young lovers, Clara is not
quite all that she appears. Unable to suppress the truth about her daughter,
Margaret is forced to reconsider not only Clara's future, but her own hopes as
well.</p>
