Love it! I've always wanted to weave this macabre detail into a play somehow, and (darn it) now I don't have to. A quick moving, beautifully written undoing of a layer of the art world best now buried.

I enjoyed reading this ‘loosely based’ true story. In IYNA CARUSO’s “Mummy Brown”, the brilliant painter puts his morals, ethics, and sensibilities into his art. His painting is like a part of him. In the end, the artist asks: What is his painting worth? Is the painting’s price based on its demand or something else? I recommend this ten-minute play.

I absolutely love this. I was ignorant of the history, but Caruso brings the story to life with such virtuosity that I delighted in and hung on every word. Speaking of words, the language in this play is gorgeous. A thoroughly gripping and exciting work.
