Dateline: 1894. Paris.
Dangerous riots and political unrest are brewing outside a major Paris
theatre. Never mind that! On the inside, two of the greatest rivals in the
history of the stage---Sarah Bernhardt and Eleonora Duse---are girding for
their perceptive, quick-witted and legendary encounter.
What happens when the realities of poverty and injustice invade the
make-believe world of footlights and grease paint? What does Art say in
the face of Violence? And who gets to laugh last?
Nationally acclaimed director and playwright Lillian Groag makes her
Colony Theatre directing debut with her witty, incisive play about the
enduring power of theatre amidst the titanic clash of wills and the forces
of history.
Directed by Lillian Groag.
