Modigliani's poet/mistress, Beatrice Hastings, tries to convince him to meet Cheron himself. Frightened of failure, he finally agrees only to discover Zbo has given away his best painting
His meeting with Cheron is a disaster and, in a rage, he slashes his paintings and attempts to destroy all the work in his studio
Beatrice prevents this and forces him to realize the paintings are his life. Left alone with no possibilities for success, Modigliani begins work again on a self portrait
"A wild, funny and moodily provocative play ... raffish and richly atmospheric" ~ N.Y. Daily News
"One of the most enthralling dramas in years ... wonderfully exciting in the varied richness of its texture" ~ N.Y. Post
