Paris, 1911. A world on the brink of change. Young Nathan Wanamaker arrives in search of stock for the family department store and instead finds Paul Poiret and the first truly fabulous party of the 20th century. Surrounded by Poiret’s extravagances, Stravinsky’s music, and Picasso’s art, Nathan soon finds himself having to make the difficult choice of what he must bring back to Philadelphia and what he must leave behind.

A great job by the Arden crew in picking this budding playwright. Martinez does a fantastic job on this nuanced story. He superbly uses historical figures blending their characters into this period piece. A great group of performers deliver a compelling performance that is both humorous and heartfelt. We really enjoyed this one.
