I Am Marguerite
Author(s):
Shirley Barrie
In 1542, 19 year old Marguerite de Roberval contrived to join her brother, Jean Francois "Sieur" de Roberval, on the great expedition to establish the first French colony in the new world. But when Jean Francois discovered that she had fallen in love with an unsuitable young nobleman on board ship, he abandoned her, and her lover and nurse, on a deserted island in the Strait of Belle Isle for daring to choose love over duty. The play takes place 2 1/2 years later as Marguerite, having suffered great loss, and on the brink of madness, sees a fishing boat weighing anchor. Rescue is possible. But torn between love, despair, remorse and the desire for revenge, she struggles to decide whether it has come too late.
