About The Play
Margaret Johnson, an elegant and strong Southern woman, is on vacation with her daughter, Clara in Italy. When one day a gust of wind blows Clara's hat right into the hands of a young Italian gentleman. What follows, neither age nor language nor familial disapproval can stop their whirlwind love affair. As Clara and Fabrizio fall into each others arms, Margaret must grapple with the question of whether to disclose Clara's devastating secret to Fabrizio's family. A story about mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and the deeply intertwined emotions of love and loss.
