Giulia, a feisty Brooklyn art restorer, receives the much-coveted job of "refreshing" Michelangelo's David in time for its 500th birthday celebration in Florence.
Her encounters with the masterpiece's curators, guardians and tourists sparks a life-changing journey in which Giulia discovers the statue's imperfections and flaws, as well as her own.
Directed by Christopher Ashley, Restoration paints a funny and moving portrait of survival, endurance and the impermanence of beauty.
Claudia Shear wrote and starred in Dirty Blonde, for which she received Tony nominations for Best Actress and Best Play; she also won a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Solo Performance for her show Blown Sideways Through Life, directed by Christopher Ashley.
