The city-state of Roma erupts in celebration on the eve of the wedding of Lucrezia Borgia, only daughter of Pope Alexander VI, and Prince Adolfo of Salorno. Revelers pack the streets, and nobles flock to the Borgia family estate. Lucrezia, however, is not in attendance. Seeking to ease his Machiavellian father’s wrath, Cesare Borgia sets out to retrieve his sister. But their history is more complicated than it appears, and as Cesare attempts to support and encourage his sister, long-dormant feelings rise to the surface. Will they act on their feelings, as forbidden as they may be? Will there love win the day? And if it does… what will they have to do to protect it?

Tell me, Cesare… have you ever wondered about… *us*? Together? I know it’s wrong, but… I have. I’ve wondered about it a lot. And I thought that… since I’m about to be taken away from you… maybe you could help me. Help me understand what true love is like, before it’s taken away forever. Please, brother. I need you.

LINK TO SCRIPT

Hey! Here’s a long, romantic, historical script. This is a special one: I got to write it in collaboration with two very very exceptional people. A bajillion thank-yous to u/LordAccretionDisk for conceiving the pitch, giving excellent guidance on the project, and bringing me together again with u/emmafielder, who is kind of a full-on revelation as a performer and is also an extraordinarily kind, funny, and genuine person who I'm always stoked to work with. We've had this one in the works for a long, LONG time, and I'm so excited to show everyone. Hope you like it!

A note for history buffs: these are fictional characters loosely based on and named for historical figures. Everyone depicted in this script is above the age of 18.
