"Oh, how the times haven't changed..."
"Madame Restell, one of so many notable women who didn't make it into the history books, has recently been 'rediscovered'," says playwright/director Deanna Duplechain. "I am so glad to know her, and audiences will be too. The world that swirled around her makes for lively, and surprisingly funny, very poignant theatre."
