3B Development Series

Tickets 

IN RESIDENCE: April 17 – 30, 2018

In this postmodern fever dream of Madame Bovary, Flaubert’s 19th century protofeminist masterpiece collides with retro Americana and a future that’s female. Emma Bovary’s voracious desire cracks the facade of domestic life, unleashing a flood that challenges the constructs of femininity.

*Valerie Redd as Emma Bovary/ Gustave Flaubert/ Herself

“Redd’s performance is a delight as she brings wit and irreverence to Emma, shining a light on everything that makes the character all at once extraordinary, relatable, and deeply flawed. She’s a perfect fit for Pardo’s razor-sharp humor, and the design team has deftly brought to life the show’s penchant for time-trotting.”
