Marie-Jeanne Valet, Who Defeated la Bête du Gévaudan
Presented as part of the Southern Theater's ARTshare program.
France, 1764. In the waning days of the golden age of the French kings, an unearthly monster begins hunting the people of the tiny province of Gevaudan. King Louis sends his personal bodyguard, Francois Antoine, with a small army to kill the beast before public outrage over the killings can undermine the monarchy. Antoine, however, finds himself upstaged by a 20-year-old peasant girl with more resourcefulness than all the King’s army.
Based on true events.
Marie-Jeanne Valet, Who Defeated La Bête du Gevaudan originally premiered at the 2014 Minnesota Fringe Festival. The show won both audience and critical acclaim, and earned itself a place in the list of the Fringe’s top ten selling shows, finishing ninth overall.
