CLOVE PRODUCTIONS presents the premiere of new short works by fringe veterans BARRIE COLE and MICHAEL MARTIN, in a limited run at The SIDE PROJECT in Rogers Park, 1439 West Jarvis.

Michael's MADELEINE REMAINS: In Memory, A Wife of Genius, ventures into loneliness, and the costs of intimacy with genius. It concerns Madame Gide... the great writer Andre Gide's elusive wife, about whom there's almost endless room to wonder. His first cousin as well as his wife, little is known of the shy, devout Madeleine, nor of their long but unfulfilled marriage. And though described as Gide's "muse" and "rock," her most famous act was to burn, in 1918, quietly and without fuss, all of the Nobel winner's love letters to her--letters he believed contained his finest writing--in revenge for his affairs with Algerian boys, and especially with Marc Allegret. Gide reportedly wept for days upon discovery of the loss.
All else in MADELEINE REMAINS is Michael's speculation. It stars ARIEL BRENNER, for whom it was specifically written, and is directed by SHANNON EVANS.
SCOTT HECKMAN is production manager for both shows. ADAM DODDS is costume designer for Madeleine Remains.
