Divine Rivalry
Michael Kramer and D.S. Moynihan discovered an intriguing crossroads: in 1504, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Machiavelli were in the same place at the same time. Machiavelli arranged a contest - a battle of the brushes - between the two masters. There's even a mystery. But the script dumps it in favor of a conclusion as lengthy as its early exposition. The point of the piece gets lost along the way. The famous figures are mostly caricatures (even the often brilliant Miles Anderson can't do much with da Vinci). Best of show: Peter Nigrini's excellent projections across the brow of the proscenium ("The Last Supper," "Mona Lisa"). But even when shunted to the side, they upstage the actors. And the huge, boxy set swallows them whole.
