Summary
Lake Geneva, 1878: a young expatriate, Frederick Winterbourne, meets Daisy Miller, a strikingly pretty young American from Schenectady. Though immediately infatuated with each other, they are socially worlds apart. Winterbourne fails to recognize that Daisy is that alarming new phenomenon, 'the American girl', free to do as she pleases. Daisy Miller has its intensely poignant denouement in Rome, where Daisy's conduct provokes the wrath of the city's American colony, and leads Winterbourne tragically to misjudge her. Dawn Keeler's adaptation of the Henry James story premiered at the Malvern Festival Theatre before a tour starring Richard Grieve, Scarlett Johnson, Jean Boht and Shirley Anne Field.
