POSTPONED Nora’s Salon South: “Françoise”

April 28 @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm CDT

$10

So sorry all! Due to some unforeseen circumstances, we have to postpone our April 28th salon reading of FRANCOISE. We will be rescheduling as soon as possible. Please stay tuned for updated details.

***

Our next gathering of Nora’s Salon South in Montgomery, Alabama is Friday, April 28th! We hope you’ll join us for a glass of wine, friendly conversation, and an informal reading of Françoise by friend of Nora’s, Suzanne Trauth (Rehearsing Desire, La Fonda).

***
Françoise Bollinger is eighty and ill. Confronted with her mortality, she is frightened to die with a terrible sin on her conscience. While grappling with her past to find forgiveness for her actions, she relives the summer of 1944 in Nice, France. Françoise remembers studying dance with one of Isadora Duncan’s protégées; falling in love with Christian, a young German soldier, sharing his passion for the poetry of Rilke and sharing her passion for dance. Now sixty years later, as she faces the end of her life, Françoise conjures up Christian, Isadora Duncan, and a younger version of herself, struggling to navigate between the two worlds of past and present. A compassionate doctor and troubled granddaughter are her only companions as she searches for the redemption she needs before dying.
