Directed by Colin Armstrong and Musical Direction by Sue Fletcher.
Francesca Johnson, an Italian woman who married an American soldier to flee war-ravaged Italy, looks forward to a rare four days alone on her Iowa farm when her family heads to the 1965 State Fair. When National Geographic photographer, Robert Kincaid, pulls into her driveway seeking directions, though, what happens in those four days may very well alter the course of Francesca's life.
The Bridges of Madison County will run from 9 - 24 August 2024.
Please note, The Bridges of Madison County contains adult themes.
