Fabulation Or, The Re-Education of Undine, follows successful and high-powered African-American publicist Undine Barnes Calles on an unexpected journey, after her smooth-talking husband disappears with her hard-earned fortune.

In this 2023 adaptation, Undine Barnes Calles, a viral sensation turned influencer mogul, grapples with her ending fame and a vanished fortune. Undine’s evolution from online sensation to influencer magnate adds a dynamic layer, exploring the complexities of identity and the pitfalls of fame. This production promises a gripping blend of relatable struggles, cautionary tales, and a compelling commentary on the influencer era.

 

Fabulation Or, The Re-Education of Undine is an external production by Rose Bruford South West.
