ItÂ’s quite natural to hate your kids from time to time, but Count Cenci lost all sense of proportion. For him, child-hatred was an obsession that led him down the path towards an ultimate ghastliness, protected from punishment because he had bought the PopeÂ’s indulgence.
FrankensteinÂ’s bridesmaid, Percy Byshe Shelley, found this true story irresistible and made a play of it. At CurtinÂ’s Hayman Theatre, we have stripped back ShelleyÂ’s script to the good bits. A Popish pageant and a Vatican dance number are among the sensitively constructed additions.
CENCI is a part singing/part dancing, suppurating pus fest, a ripping yarn involving money, sex and power. Should you find a redeeming social message in the production, please alert us and we will cut it.
