Submitted by JessicaKamin on 28 July 2015 - 4:56pm

A new original theater piece entitled "Jeanne des Anges", elaborated by Ron Bashford and Carine Montbertrand, tells the story of the 17th century French nun suspected of being demonically possessed.  The show was performed in Maine this month (see link below), and is anticipated to run at Amherst College in the spring, as well as other venues.

La réconciliation franco-espagnole conclue en 1659 est un moment clé pour l'Europe. Sa longue négociation, sa célébration et sa mémoire ont nourri d'immenses espoirs collectifs mais aussi une réflexion sur les équilibres diplomatiques, politiques et financiers, évalués au prisme de la raison.
