Belle Dame Sans Merci is a metaphysical nourish thriller with detectives, dangerous dames, murder, mystery, sex, and mayhem, with perhaps the most problematic of all, Death herself. Hard-boiled Detective Dan Lovelace must solve the murder of a colleague in a corrupt city. His only clues are a beautiful femme fatale and the unusual sighting of a ghostly woman at the scene of the crime. This show contains adult language and situations, as well as poetry by John Keats.

Hello, my name is Nicholas Salyer and I am a producer at YER Productions. I love live theatre! I have been working at it most of my life and love to share theatre with others. We are producing an important stage play project called BELLE DAME SANS MERCI by Michael Fenlason, to be performed in Poughkeepsie's own venue the Cunneen-Hackett Arts Center Theater located at 12 Vassar St. Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 during the Summer of 2017.

For Ages 13 and Up Only.

3 Reasons to go see the Performance...!

1. If you're a fan of John Keats, you'll recognize his poetry mixed in with the murder and mayhem. The play should sound familiar since it's from the famous Keats poem of a similar title.

"It's sort of an overall metaphor for what's happening in the show," Fenlason said of the poem.

2. The main character, Detective Dan Lovelace, is reminiscent of Bogart.

"He's in a relationship with a very nice lady, but like in those Humphrey Bogart movies a lot of beautiful woman come up to him and say inappropriate things," Fenlason said. "He's not a good guy; he's sort of an existential hero."

3. "Belle" has snappy dialogue with creepy characters.

"There is some fantastic word play. It is a very creepy play; in parts, some of the people are really bad," Fenlason said.

Belle Dame Sans Merci by master playwright Michael Fenlason crafts a thrilling web of uncompromising fate. Detective Lovelace is hot on the trail of the femme fatale, Tierney suspected of murdering his fellow detective Perez.
