ADRIANNE & THE CASTLE

ADRIANNE & THE CASTLE Play Button

Alan and Adrianne St. George created a magnificent and intricately designed castle in Illinois’ tranquil countryside—a grand testament to their enduring and all-consuming love. Following Adrianne’s untimely passing, Alan is faced with constant reminders of their rich, intertwined lives.

Seeking solace, Alan partners with documentary filmmaker Shannon Walsh (The Gig is Up) to create a fantastical musical tribute to their legendary romance. At once an unforgettable love story and an investigation of the many layers of grief, Adrianne & The Castle is a dazzling and daringly original look at how we live, love, and remember.
