A Royal Affair: An Evening with Madame de Montespan
The magically elegant music of Lully and Marais forms the backdrop for a one-woman show. Acclaimed actress Brooke Bloom has an accomplished career in film, television and theatre with memorable turns on FX’s “Atlanta,” “Kindred,” Amazon’s series “Homecoming” and “Alpha House”, and regular stints on HBO’s “Gypsy.” Brooke can be seen in the critically acclaimed Jeremy Hersh indie The Surrogate (SXSW), Eric Steel’s Minyan which premiered at Berlin Film Festival, Anja Marquardt’s She’s Lost Control (two Indie Spirit Award nominations), and Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story.
Here she becomes the fascinating and enigmatic Athénais Marquise de Montespan, whose memoirs offer intimate glimpses of Versailles behind the scene as well as a valuable historical record of Louis XIV’s reign.
