UNBOUND
by Laura MarksBased on the journals of British actress Fanny Kemble (1809-93) playwright Laura Marks portrays a life of a remarkable woman of artistry, curiosity and humanity. In the 1830’s on a tour in New York City, Fanny falls in love with the charming, wealthy gentleman, Pierce Butler and happily and willingly gives up her theatrical career to become his wife and soon the mother of his two daughters. Despite his resistance, she wins him over to the notion of leaving Northern society for life on his family plantation in Georgia where who and what she encounters changes her forever. The depth of her understanding of what it means to live off of others’ labor creates a moral dilemma and painful life decision that is the heart and soul of Unbound. The Rhode Island premiere of this powerful play.
