THE STORY: In 1912, the painter Egon Schiele was accused of raping a twelve-year-old girl. She refused to testify against him. All they could prove was that she saw his paintings. He was convicted and served twenty-eight days for “Corruption of Morals.” In life, he never painted her. This play imagines that he had and tells the story from her point of view.
