Guy de Maupassant Story
Newly arrived in Paris, penniless, impressionable Georges Du Roy is dazzled by the glamour and decadence of the “Belle Epoque”. Desperate to be a part of this society he secures a job with the corrupt and sleazy newspaper, “La Vie Francaise”, but quickly finds himself entangled in a complicated web of women, sex and political intrigue.
Georges discovers that it is sex that can bring him what he desires.
Plumbing the depths of depravity and decadence, of rich grandeur and seedy despair, a shocking truth is revealed, which Georges uses to his own advantage. In a way that surprises even himself.
Ruby In The Dust present the world premiere of this musical adaptation featuring original live music and songs performed by the actors on a violin, clarinet, saxophone and piano, the piece is set in fin de siècle Paris. The action unfolds in the cafes, salons and burlesque clubs.
