THE MISTRESS CYCLE Explores Story of Tess Walker Tonight at The Duplex

The Mistress Cycle will be performed for a one night only show at The Duplex Theatre tonight, June 7th.

The show is a song cycle exploring the story of Tess Walker [Emily Stokes], a single Manhattan photographer in her 30's who keeps attracting married men, and the women from different times throughout history who share her story.

These include Ching [Alexandra Mazzucchelli], a 12th century Chinese concubine, Diane de Poitiers [Lendsey Kersey], mistress of Henri II in 16th century France, the notorious erotic memoirist Anais Nin [Shoshanna Richman], and Lulu White [Brittane Rowe], a bordello madame in New Orleans circa 1900.

With music by Jenny Giering and book and lyrics by Beth Blatt, this musical explores the lives of those who "occupy the place of a wife - practically speaking, anyone who comes second." Concert is is accompanied by Alex Barylski and directed by Mark Falconer.

Show starts at 9:30pm. Tickets can be purchased through purplepass.com/mistress.
