Synopsis
Madame Bovary is the tragic, yet scintillating story of a woman who longed for a life she could never fully achieve .
Emma Bovary is a woman who desires the illustrious and romantic world she has only read about in books or observed from afar.

Telling Emma's story through the eyes of her own daughter, Adrienne Kennedy brings a fresh and exciting approach to this classic novel.
Press Reviews
"Adrienne Kennedy has influenced 'generations of playwrights with her hauntingly fragmented lyrical dramas...frequently produced, read, and taught, they continue to hold a prominent place among the most exciting plays of the past 50 years.'"
