The Marquis of Saint-Fleury and the Theatre Duche
A nobleman near starvation and a beauty of the Theater Lyrique, Ninon Duchene, strike a bold bargain for status. She aims to legitimize a plebeian marriage by wedlock to the Marquis of Saint-Fleury, drawing scrutiny from judges and guards. His steadfast honesty and her shifting desires collide as he refuses her and she reveals a hidden identity, leading to a decisive, self-sacrificing public act that reshapes their fates.

The Marquise de Saint-Fleury in the Guillotine Court
Amid a revolutionary sweep, Ninon Duchene and the Marquise de Saint-Fleury face social ruin and a fatal turn. In Thermidor 1794 she enters the Conciergerie court within Fouquier-Tinville’s lists, trembles, and is recognized as the guillotine candidate before a defiant spectator cries out the name “More.”
