Newly arrived in Paris, penniless, impressionable Georges Du Roy is dazzled by the glamour and decadence of the "Belle Epoque". Desperate to be a part of this society he secures a job with the corrupt and sleazy newspaper, "La Vie Francaise", but quickly finds himself entangled in a complicated web of women, sex and political intrigue. Georges discovers that it is sex that can bring him what he desires. Plumbing the depths of depravity and decadence, of rich grandeur and seedy despair, a shocking truth is revealed, which Georges uses to his own advantage. In a way that surprises even himself. Featuring original live music and song, the piece is set in fin de siecle Paris. The action unfolds in the cafes, salons and burlesque clubs.
