A LOVE STORY, A REBELLION, A MIRROR TO OUR TIMES

Botticelli in the Fire
March 4–14, 2026
Big Secret Theatre, Werklund Centre
Written by Jordan Tannahill, Directed by Clare Preuss
Produced by Downstage with the generous support of Hit & Myth Productions

From the mind of one of Canada’s most celebrated playwrights, comes a bold reimagining of Renaissance Florence. The past collides with the present in this extravagant and dangerous spectacle. In a world where artists drive sports cars, text their lovers, and play squash in between revolutions, one man’s passion for beauty could ignite a political firestorm. As society teeters on the edge, can art survive the flames?

Please Note: The play contains scenes with nudity, s*x and violence - recommended for 16+
