Love or the Crown? The Temptation that could have changed the course of history

December 1936.
King Edward VIII is preparing to abdicate the throne so that he can marry an American divorcee, Wallis Simpson. On the eve of his abdication, an unexpected guest, Marlene Dietrich, shows up at his country residence. The Australian playwright Ron Elisha turns their meeting into a tense intellectual and erotic duel.

This is a story about passion, duty and the price of love, for which one gives away an empire. One night, one choice, one dress, one king and two strong women because Wallis Simpson is invisibly present on stage. In this production, a personal drama becomes a political catastrophe, and sincerity becomes the most dangerous weapon. You will see a story that never appeared in textbooks and hear songs that could have become the last soundtrack of the British monarchy.
