A Bath of Approbation is the latest collaboration between Roman D’Ambrosio and Peter Dizozza.
This haunting and thought-provoking drama unfolds across two time periods—1891 and 2023—within the same lakeside cottage on Lake Bodensee.

The play explores the legacy of a renowned writer who once lived—and mysteriously died—in the cottage. More than a century later, four new visitors arrive, unknowingly stepping into parallel roles across time. As their stories intertwine, they must confront the unsettling power of being written into history and the lasting consequences of the past.
This intimate production, written and directed by Roman D’Ambrosio, features original live music composed and performed by Peter Dizozza, seamlessly weaving together language and melody to transport the audience through time.

The cast of four actors —Anna Medley, Charlotte Horan, Stella Westlake, and Tay Rosen—
brings the story to life in a minimalist, actor-driven production that highlights the emotional depth and thematic resonance of the piece.
Costumes are designed by Caroline D’Ambrosio.
