Echo’s powerful, hilarious world premiere of
‘Poor Clare’ gets five extra performances

WHAT:
The world premiere of Poor Clare, Chiara Atik’s powerful and very funny modern spin on the medieval story of Saint Clare of Assisi, extends through Dec. 5 at the Echo Theater Company. Clare is just a regular noblewoman living in 13th century Italy, trying out hairstyles and waiting to get married… until a man named Francis starts ranting in the courtyard. What happens when your eyes are opened to the injustice of the world around you — and you can’t look away?
