On Saturday, April 6 at 7:00 p.m., The Hill-Stead Museum will present a sold-out world premiere reading of "The Waltz," a play based on the life and times of French sculptor Camille Claudel (1864-1943). This original work - conceived, written, and directed by local playwright Carolyn Kirsch - explores Claudel's tempestuous relationship with sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), her ongoing struggle to be recognized in 20th-century Parisian art circles, and the question of her descent into madness. The five-person reading, underscored by the music of Claude Debussy, will be held in Hill-Stead's Drawing Room, surrounded by Impressionist masterpieces by Monet and Degas. The cast features Jill Giles, Carolyn Kirsch, Debra Walsh and Nancy Wolfe, with Phill Rittner at the piano.
