Misia Godeska (1872- 1950) was the queen of Paris from the turn of the century to the Roaring Twenties: musician, social butterfly, muse and patron. She is one of the most recurring figures in paintings of the time, from Bonnard to Toulouse-Lautrec and Renoir, and the friend of Proust, Coco Chanel, and Cocteau among others. Christian Simeon brings her story to life in a play starring the muse herself, but also her husband, Thadee Natanson, director of the French art magazine La Revue blanche, and a rather despicable man, financier Alfred Edwards. Misia is repulsed by Alfred, a vulgar ladies' man, but he has decided he must have her at all costs...
