During a tea party, Marie Antoinette ? wearing a Cyndi Lauper-inspired tulle dress, blue wig and strings of pearls ? complains that she feels trapped in the Palace of Versailles. The French queen, who was married at age 14 to Louis XVI, takes a bite of expensive chocolate and sighs, saying she?s misunderstood by the public, in The NOLA Project?s production of Marie Antoinette at NOCCA?s Nims Black Box Theatre.
