BELLE BREZING
directed by
TONDA-LEAH FIELDS
Belle Brezing, the legendary madam who inspired Belle Watley of Gone With the Wind fame, is one of the most charismatic, colorful and scandalous women ever to come out of the South. When she died in August, 1939, the New York Times ran her obit on the front page (“Died: Famed Ky. bawd”) and Time Magazine paid tribute to Miss Brezing, whose house of pleasure on Lexington's Megowan Street was known as the “most orderly of disorderly houses.”

Local playwright Margaret C. Price explores the twilight of the Lexington Madam’s death, when, haunted by her former lover’s spirit, Belle remembers what she had devoted a life-time to forgetting in order to forgive herself - beyond Life.
