Lost, grief-stricken... a ghost in her own story.

The quietly defiant Lucy Snowe seeks a new life away from England and finds solace as a governess in a foreign land, Villette.

She has never known love, desire and passion until now... or heartbreak. A dead nun, techno and a fierce Madame await her within the boarding school walls of the Rue Fossette.

Villette performed by MA/MFA Acting students is a dynamic retelling of Charlotte Bronte's psychologically daring novel.

This production, written by Ellen Turner, reimagines her story through a queer lens.
