Poor Clare

"I'm still going to like, do charity, probably even more than I do now." Clare has it all. She's a super-rich noblewoman living her best life in medieval Assisi, trying out hairstyles, and sharing the latest gossip with her sister and maids. Everything is on track for her to marry some super-rich nobleman and live super-richly ever after. But on the streets of Assisi, she meets Francis, who's sharing some of the wildest ideas Clare has ever heard. And when she listens to what he has to say, her eyes are opened to a whole new way of living. Chiara Atik's hilarious and off-beat comedy inspired by the stories of Saint Clare and Saint Francis of Assisi won the 2022 American Theatre Critics Association's New Play Award and the LA Drama Critics Circle award for Best New Play, and was a Susan Smith Blackburn Prize finalist. Poor Clare has its UK premiere at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, in 2025.
