Edgardo Mine

Ah, last night was another amazing night at the Guthrie. The brilliant cast of Edgardo Mine gave an incredible performance of love, tension, and heartache as they told the story of Edgardo Mortara, a young Jewish boy who was secretly baptized by his nanny and when discovered was ‘rescued’ by the Catholic church. What an amazing story. It’s based on the book The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara by David I Kertzer.

The emotions portrayed, the love on both sides for this little boy, the commitment to faith- to a belief, the loss of faith, all of it…so amazing. This was an absolutely incredible production. If you want to know more, let me know.
