The Glove Academy Presents: The Necklace at The Glove Theatre

The Glove Summer Academy returns with the students’ original take on The Necklace, the famous and darkly comedic short story by French author, Guy de Maupassant.

“The Necklace” is a short story by French writer Guy de Maupassant, first published in 1884. It tells the story of Mathilde Loisel, a young woman who borrows a necklace from a wealthy friend to wear to a high-society event, only to lose it and spend the next ten years of her life in poverty trying to replace it. The story is a cautionary tale about the dangers of materialism and social ambition, featuring one of Maupassant’s infamous plot twists for which he was well known.

Book, music, and lyrics will be written by the Academy’s own “Rising Stars”, and their four week adventure will see them learning about performance, writing, music, dance, and dramaturgy as well as World Literature.
