Courtesan, party girl, liar and legend, Marie Duplessis, will bring the biggest party of 1847 to The Old Fitzroy Theatre from 30th November to 15th December 2012.

The most famous and wealthy courtesan in Paris, Marie has been bedridden with consumption for four months. She gets out of bed, dons a frock, pops a bottle of champagne and sits alone for several hours to celebrate her birthday. She died 18 days later, aged 23…but Mademoiselle is not done yet.

Together with the audience, Songs for the Fallen will delve into Marie's glamorous boudoir to celebrate the wild and unforgettable final birthday party Marie never had.

Nov 30th, Dec 4th, 6th, 11th, 12th and 13th - 8pm

Dec 1st, 7th, 8th, 14th and 15th - 7pm and 9pm
