On this special segment of "By Any Means Necessary" Eugene Puryear and Sean Blackmon are joined by actors Earl Kim, Cody Nickell, Jame Crichton, and Jon Hudson Odam to talk about their brand new show BOTTICELLI IN THE FIRE playing at Washington D.C’s Woolly Mammoth Theater now through June 24th. BOTTICELLI IN THE FIRE, written by Jordan Tannahill is a historical re-imagining centering on the artists Sandro Botticelli and Leonardo Da Vinci in Renaissance Florence and their interactions with the wealthy Lorenzo de Medici and populist preacher of the time Girolamo Savonarola. The group talks about queering history, the role of the artist in protests, and what Renaissance Florence can teach us about modern political, social and economic movements.
