Souvenir

By Stephen Temperley

Directed by Betty Diamond

Souvenir is a heartfelt, wickedly funny look at the limits of self-perception and the unpredictable nature of friendship.The story of real-life Florence Foster Jenkins, a New York socialite and tone-deaf diva who thought she was a great soprano. Unfortunately her great love of music was not matched by her own abilities. Her brilliant, wry accompanist, Cosme McMoon, chronicles Florence's unlikely rise to cult status, which culminated in an infamous sold-out Carnegie Hall performance in October 1944.
