In this play about the Deadly Sin of Lust, Saint Francis, almost
blind and toothless and nearing the end of his life, revisits
Assisi, where he encounters Pica, a young girl with the same name
as his mother; Mother Clara of Saint Damian's Convent; and Mona
Lucrezia (now a mad woman) with whom he had a love affair when he
was a wild, willful young man known as Francis the Frenchman, and
she was a young married woman. Saint Francis still seeks expiation
for the "load of sin" with which he has offended God. The play
poses questions about the true meaning of love-and, as Wilder
wrote, about "the ideas of the Erotic as Destroyer and the Erotic
as Creative."
