The Enchantment

Ducdame Ensemble presents what it bills as the U.S. premiere of an 1887 play by Victoria Benedictsson, a protofeminist writer and suicide who is commonly cited as the inspiration for both Henrik Iben's Hedda Gabler and August Strindberg's Miss Julie. The plot concerns a young Swedish woman who rexamines her life in the new light of Belle Époque Paris. Lucy Jane Atkinson directs an adaptation by Tommy Lexen.
