Midwest Theater presents "The Favourite"

In the early 18th century, England is at war with the French.  Nevertheless, duck racing and pineaplle eating are thriving.  A frail Queen Anne occupies the throne, and her close friend, Lady Sarah, governs the country in her stead, while tending to Anne's ill health and mercuial temper.  When a new servant, Abigail, arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah.  Sarah takes Abigail under her wing, and Abigail sees a chance to return to her aristocratic roots.
