Marguerite GFT 18 – 24 March 2016
Money can’t buy you talent: an utterly delightful comedy of manners.
Fri 18 – Thu 24 Mar, 2016
Running time: 2h9m
Money can’t buy you talent, but it can purchase a lot of grand illusions in this utterly delightful comedy of manners inspired by the true story of Florence Foster Jenkins. In jazz-age Paris, wealthy aristocrat Marguerite has a passion for opera and loves to entertain close friends with her recitals. Sadly, nobody has the gumption to tell her how bad a singer she is, least of all her opportunistic husband Georges. What would happen if Marguerite decided to give a public performance?
