When France bans absinthe in 1914, struggling poet Marmion fears he will lose his only source of inspiration: the Green Fairy, who appears to him in the form of a beautiful muse. He authors a petition against the ban, aided by Dennis, a depressed bartender who drinks absinthe in order to hallucinate his deceased fiancée. But Marmion’s brother Achille, a priest with his own secret absinthe addiction, is dead-set against the petition and determined to stop them. Each of the three men must learn the source of his own dependence on "La Fee Verte" in this comedy about what inspires us, what we cling to, and how we find meaning in an often meaningless universe.
Directed by Debbi Ardoin and starring Steven Landry, Garland Theriot, Allen Higginbotham and Erica Jure, this comedy kicks off our 2016 Season, a year long celebration of women who write for theatre!
