Love In The Shining City

Synopsis:
A re-imagining of the La Traviata story. Rich in movement and evocative imagery, this story is told through the eyes of three women living in France at the time of Marie-Therese, one of the most famous Parisian courtesans. A timeless story of three heroines living in a world where to love, and to be loved, means many different things.

Notes:
Part of the Royal Exchange Theatre Hodgkiss Award which is the only scheme of its kind in the north that celebrates the unique collaboration between a writer and director. It offers a theatre maker of outstanding promise the chance to direct a new piece of work - by a writer of their choice - in a production fully supported by the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester in 2014. And in its inaugural year, the Award received 108 submissions from directors based the length and breadth of the UK and Ireland! We were overwhelmed with the breadth and scope of ideas and the quality of proposals. It makes us feel incredibly excited about the future of new work in our theatres and the ambition and dedication of directors working in a variety of ways across the UK. It was fascinating to see such a range of ideas and for us to really interrogate how we make work for our audiences at the Royal Exchange Theatre.
