It's the 1920s and the city of lights is alive with romance, literature and possibility. It is everything Adrienne, a wide-eyed New Jersey bibliophile, dreamed it would be. As she mixes among the literary stars of the Lost Generation, surrounded by all the stories she could ever want, she soon finds herself feeling aimless. After all, when you want life to be like a novel, how can reality ever compare? Adrienne is a one-woman play, set within the decadence of the Années folles. Performed by Kirsten Lewis. Directed by Lil Malinich. Written by Josh King.
