Synopsis

Inspired by Edith Wharton’s The House of Mirth, the novel tells of Lily Bart’s tragic descent from the glittering social circle of 1890s New York to poverty and a solitary death; her dreams of marriage – whether for wealth or love – shattered by convention and by her own conflicted desires. Kudelka has created a vocabulary of movement, music and theatre that can evoke the story’s moral issues, while illustrating the heroine’s inner life and her relationships to the men who help her, make demands on her and would save her.
