Meth and absinthe sweetened with a bit of hot sugar, this modern translation exposes life behind the bedroom doors of pre-Revolutionary France. A willful noblewoman and her mother's groom, a virgin and her masked lover, a brazen temptress playing the repentant sinner, a betrayal come full circle and forbidden love. All are revealed in this modern translation exposing the decadence, hypocrisy and heartbreak of France's well-born daughters in the final days of the Ancient Regime.
