Poor Clare by Chiara Atik Directed by Carrie Williams Winner! 2022 Harold and Mimi Steinberg/American Theatre Critics Association New Play Award It’s 1211 in Assisi, Italy, and Clare’s got beauty, wealth, and a rich suitor who showers her with expensive presents. So why is she so drawn to this guy Francis who gave up all his possessions just because poor people are suffering? Everyone in town says he’s crazy. And yet… she starts seeing everything in her life differently. This hilarious, anachronistic telling of the real story of St. Clare considers the cost of doing good– and how little has changed for the haves and the have-nots in almost a millennium.
