The Bridges of Madison County
The Bridges of Madison County tells the story of Francesca, an Italian woman who married an American soldier to flee war-ravaged Italy. She looks forward to a rare four days alone on her Iowa farm as her family heads to the 1965 State Fair, but her life is thrown upside down when National Geographic photographer Robert pulls into her driveway seeking directions. What happens in those four days may very well alter the course of Francesca’s life. The set plays into the rustic charm of Francesca’s life, while both accentuating the feeling of being trapped and the hope for something beyond.
FINAL SET
"[The set] is evocative enough to capture a perceived essence of rural small-town America, but economical enough to enhance, rather than overwhelm, the performances."
