1928. The world is enthralled as American debutante, Constance Nielsen, marries into one of Europe's ancient Royal Families. But when an impassioned affair with her music teacher sparks uproar, news of her tragic death turns her from living legend into timeless icon. 40 years later, a young man in search of his grandfather's past finds more than he's bargained for. The Princess. Her lover. And a story that could not be told.

A previous production of ICON (starring Susannah York) was presented at Her Majesty's Theatre, London, as part of The Works Series of New Musicals, and then went on to a full production at the Landor Theatre. ICON plays for five performances on the following schedule: Wednesday, July 20, 2016 at 8:00 pm; Saturday, July 23, 2016 at 1:00 pm; Saturday, July 23, 2016 at 5:00 pm; Sunday, July 24, 2016 at 9:00 pm; and Tuesday, July 26, 2016 at 4:00 pm.
