Rich, beautiful, and poignant, Pentimento spans the decades, following the creation and provenance of a valuable painting. Detailing both history and the stories of the people who come in contact, the play shows how art affects everyone. The narrative hooks you, making you want to know where the painting will end up. And yet, through all this, the play's core is the relationship between grandfather and granddaughter, showing that there are things just as valuable as art, and the hidden treasures are often the most valuable of all.
