Description from Concord Theatricals:
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 politic 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 just be entertaining itself to death.
Content Note
This production contains themes of strong language, political unrest, death, fertility/pregnancy, and discussion of body/diet; as well as depictions of physical violence (including a child).
