A Different France

Piper McKenzie presents A Different France, evoking fond memories of the Gulf War. It’s January 1991: As the country prepares to go to war with Saddam Hussein, Rory Schein and Lesley Incarnate, of Pierreville, New Jersey, prepare for their finals. But, just as America is out to revenge Iraq’s illegitimate annexation of Kuwait, Rory and Lesley have a bone to pick with Mr. Biederbecke, who has just assigned them to write and record a radio play about the impending war, on the exact same night as auditions for the community production of A Midsummer
Night’s Dream. Will Rory and Lesley overcome the
banality of their lives and times to make great art?
Or will they end up all washed-up and cranky like Mr.
Biederbecke?
