Power October 3, 2008

'Power' is a dazzling area premiere of ambition and corruption. The year is 1661 and France is bankrupt as the young Louis XIV begins his reign under the tutelage of his sophisticated mentor and Finance Minister Nicolas Fouquet. Soon the young Sun King and his courtiers are chasing money and women, scheming, manipulating and destroying people's lives. A tautly written tale of cunning and despicable characters and the irresistible attraction of greed.
