‘The Paris Effect’ comes to St. Helena’s White Barn
“The Paris Effect,” written and performed by Laura Jane Bailey and directed by Jennifer King of Napa Valley College, will be presented the weekend of April 22-24 at the White Barn, 2727 Sulphur Springs Ave. in St. Helena.
The production, awarded “Best of the Fest” at the 2022 San Francisco Fringe Festival, tells the story about the tragedy of obsessive love and the healing power of true flesh-and-blood love.
“The Paris Effect” is about a young woman who falls in love with Paris and begins an obsessive affair with the city. However, years later, when she brings her husband to share her love with the city, things take a terrible turn. Paris becomes jealous and obsessive, and the couple barely make it out of alive.
