Shadow Theatre - Antoinette, The Colour of Flesh

Shadow Theatre at the Varscona (10329 83rd Avenue) Edmonton Alberta Ongoing through Sunday, February 16, 2014 By Joel Gross Ambitious painter Elisabeth has landed the commission for a portrait of the much reviled Queen of France. With the aid of her scheming lover, she plans to manipulate the young and naïve monarch to her own advantage. But capturing the Marie Antoinette's image on canvas allows the artist a glimpse of her subject's soul and what started as crass exploitation becomes something much deeper…  and inescapably doomed. "Irreverent in his creation of a footnote to the French Revolution concerning lost hearts and lost heads…vivid characterizations…amusing…wrenching." —UPI.
