Angelina Project A Play in 2 Acts

On Easter Sunday afternoon 1911, Angelina Napolitano, a twenty-eight-year-old Italian mother of four, killed her husband with an axe as he lay asleep in their bedroom in Sault Ste. The Angelina Project is an extension of that event, in which four generations of women come to terms with the violence which has shaped them. The script moves between Toronto of today, the Sault in 1911, and the mythical world of Clytemnestra whose murder of her husband broke all taboos. The focal character is Amelia Covello, whose marriage and academic career are in danger. As she researched her past, she discovers the secrets and lies that have shaped her. This two-act play is based on actual trial records.Canino, Frank is the author of 'Angelina Project A Play in 2 Acts' with ISBN 9781550711097 and ISBN 1550711091.
