· Impromptu · by James Lapine ☼ online event

1830s Paris is home to a variety of sensational characters, among them the woman who writes under the pseudonym George Sand, dresses in men’s clothes, and openly scorns the institution of marriage. She attends a weekend gathering of some of France's greatest artistic and creative minds and encounters composer Frédéric Chopin, with whom she’s fallen in love solely from hearing his music – this will be their first meeting. If opposites attract, the robust and provocative Sand should easily seduce the frail and shy Chopin. However, her pursuit is complicated by other guests, including some of her former lovers and another woman who has also set her sights on Chopin.
