Blackfriars Theatre Starts 2010-11 Season with MARIE ANTOINETTE
By: Michelle Wong
Blackfriars Theatre, a not-for-profit mid-sized professional theatre on Rochester's "Theatre Row" is pleased to announce the opening of its 2010-2011 season with "MARIE ANTOINETTE: THE COLOR OF FLESH," a drama by Joel Gross.
The turbulent years around the French Revolution provide the setting for this dramatic love triangle. Elisabeth Vigée le Brun, a beautiful, social-climbing portrait painter, uses her affair with Count Alexis de Ligne, a left-leaning philanderer, to get a commission to paint the naive young Queen Marie Antoinette. While Elisa uses the Queen to further her career and Alexis uses the Queen to further his political goals, both learn to love the woman they're exploiting. Elisa becomes the Queen's best friend, and Alexis becomes the Queen's lover. Elisa tries to end the scandalous affair between the Queen and Alexis, both out of concern for the Queen's political position and jealousy over Alexis' love, until the Revolution shatters all three of their lives.$27.00 Adult/$25.00 Senior/$17 Student - Saturdays/Sundays Blackfriars Theatre is located at 795 East Main Street, Just a few doors down from the Auditorium Theatre.
