<p class="MsoNormal">Against the backdrop of 18th century France, Joseph T. Travers’ world premiere trilogy follows several episodes of the life of M. Bayard, a young soldier in the French army, as he attempts to traverse a society endlessly wrapped up in proper
etiquette and decorum. He discovers, however, that even good manners are no match for hotheaded passions and lusty intentions that lurk beneath the surface of the Age of Enlightenment . . . and that there are those who will stop at nothing to protect their
honor, and that passion and cunning often trump the rules of engagement. <o:p></o:p></p>
