GEORGE
WRITTEN BY LÉA DES GARETS
PRESENTED BY MQT PRODUCTIONS
IN ASSOCIATION WITH EXCHANGE THEATRE
1839. French writer George Sand defies all rules through what she writes, what she wears and who she f*cks. But what will she sacrifice to be truly seen?
Marseille, France. 1839. When famous disobedient writer George Sand finds herself at a creative standstill, with an empty wallet, her desperate need for an idea leads her quill to the most intimate and dangerous place she has ever explored: herself. Embarking on her most daring work yet with her play “Gabriel”, she is caught in a perfect storm between her lovers, her queerness and others’ expectations.
How far will she have to bend to make her story heard?
