Her most famous works are the 1961 cookbook, “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” and her first television series,”The French Chef”. She also starred in eleven other television series and authored eighteen other books. While her public face and voice became familiar to all of us, this play focuses on her private slide, especially her relationship with her husband , Paul Child.
“Julia” tells about growing up in southern California, her adventures in World War II, learning to cook French cuisine, learning to teach and becoming a public figure. At the core was her love for Paul and his love for her. The play is a love story!
