Written by David Adjmi  and directed by Rebecca Taichman, this reading of Marie Antoinette has a pretty good cast, led by Marin Ireland, including several original cast members from the 2013 Off-Broadway Soho Rep production.
In David Adjmi’s contemporary take on the young queen of France, Marie is a confection created by a society that values extravagance and artifice. But France’s love affair with the royals sours as revolution brews, and for Marie, the political suddenly becomes very personal. From the light and breezy banter at the palace to the surging chants of “Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité!” in the streets, Marie Antoinette holds a mirror up to our contemporary society that might also just be entertaining itself to death.​
