Evening Prayer of the Blessed Virgin is a one-person play told from the perspective of a father who has just lost his son to suicide, staging their last phone call. Embodying his son, and vividly depicting their family situation and the son’s exploration of gender identity, the father leads them on a surreal journey through the underworld.

One of the canonical plays by renowned Italian playwright Antonio Tarantino (the only playwright to ever win twice the prestigious Premio Riccione), Evening Prayer masterfully merges comedy and tragedy, low-brow and high-brow, modern and classic to offer a meditation on family, grief, identity, and acceptance.
