Adrienne et Gilbert- Communion of Hearts:
A Play in One-Act by Historical Reenactor Alisa Dupuy
Performed by Alisa Dupuy as Adrienne Lafayette and Michael Halbert as Gilbert Lafayette
People today may know the name of Lafayette but do not realize how very important he was to America’s cause.
Fewer people know that his wife, Adrienne, was crucial to his surviving the French Revolution and regaining their
confiscated wealth. Without her, he probably would have died in obscurity and poverty in an Austrian dungeon.
But thanks to her, he did not and was thus able to return to America, the last living Revolutionary War General,
coming to visit at a time when America needed him most. Adrienne was instrumental in her husband’s ability
to help America, and their love story is nothing short of extraordinary. Adults only. Registration required.
