Lansing Symphony Orchestra with Choral Union and University Chorale

Belle Moral

  • Synopsis of the play: Following her father’s death, amateur scientist Pearl MacIsaac struggles to unearth the secret of her family’s past, one which her father had kept hidden with the help of his doctor. Set in Scotland in 1899, this dark and redemptive gothic comedy is a story of both family secrets that have come to life and of the birth and evolution of ideas – and truly a play of morals. Belle Moral embraces a complex range of turn-of-the-century thought.
