The Monna Vanna podcast brings you a behind the scenes look at the current Hollywood stage production of the classic 1902 play by Nobel prize winning playwright Maurice Maeterlinck. Monna Vanna, set in late fifteenth century Italy, tells the story of the battered city of Pisa which faces imminent destruction by the superior army of Florence. As the city's
commander prepares for the inevitable end, he receives from the enemy an astonishing offer of rescue. The attack will be called off, the siege will be lifted, the starving city will be resupplied, on one condition. The commander's wife, a woman revered as
the epitome of honor and virtue, must surrender her body for a night to the hated leader of the Florentine army. Hosted by director Joel Marquez and star Emily Wing, this podcast brings you interviews and in-depth discussion of what Ayn Rand called "...one of the
greatest plays in all world literature."
