It’s the summer of 1953 and Margaret Johnson is touring the Tuscan Countryside with her beautiful 26 year old daughter Clara, who has the mental and emotional capacity of a young girl. While sightseeing, Clara meets and falls in love with a handsome Florentine, Fabrizio. Margaret is determined to keep them apart to protect Clara, but as the romance intensifies, Margaret must decide whether or not to release her hold—and bravely give the young lovers her blessing. A smash hit on Broadway and winner of six Tony Awards and five Drama Desk Awards.
