Reviews
This very short drama in three acts describes Leonardo inducing Mona Lisa to sit for her portrait, ten years later still retouching and polishing his masterpiece, and then on his deathbed, dying with his eyes still glued to La Gioconda. I don't know what should I have expected, considering the fact that so many tons of verbiage have been written about the iconic painting. Perhaps new insight into Leonardo's mind, or a novel explanation why this painting became one of the few symbols of the entire Western culture? The problem with the play- it failed to move me. It is filled with cliches and sententious musings about beauty, love, sex, and homosexuality. One redeeming sentence: "Life hurts all the time and kills at the last moment". Well, how different and original is it from "Life's a bitch and you die in the end." Sadly, not worth the time of day (or night for that matter).
