‘The Decameron’ Cast, Creator Break Down the Fiery Fate of [SPOILER]: ‘It Was All a Bit Chilling!’
"The Decameron" creator Kathleen Jordan—and stars Zosia Mamet and Saoirse-Monica Jackson—break down the Black Plague comedy's season: and that finale!
The dark comedy from creator Kathleen Jordan is loosely inspired by the 14th century short-story collection by Giovanni Boccaccio, and follows an increasingly desperate group of wealthy Italian citizens who hole up in an isolated villa in Florence to escape the scourge of bubonic plague gripping Europe in the 1340s. In an attempt to help his friends escape the chaos, a grief-stricken Panfilo (Karan Gill) wields the body of his dead fiancé Neifile (Lou Gala) like shield of pestilence to deter the intruders, only to be turned into a pin cushion of arrows. Audiences will have to speculate wildly on whether that actually happens, because the season ends with the survivors gathered in a hollow of ruins and weeds, entertaining each other with belly-achingly hilarious stories to pass the time and avoid thoughts of their grim outlook in the wilderness.
