Souvenir, a play by Stephen Temperley, tells the story of Florence Foster Jenkins, a wealthy socialite who became famous for.... her terrible singing voice. Florence Foster Jenkins was a real-life figure who became famous in the 1940s for her terrible singing voice, yet her growing mob of fans packed her recitals, stuffing handkerchiefs in their mouths to stifle their laughter—which Mrs. Jenkins blissfully mistook for cheers. Souvenir is a hilarious and poignant look at one woman's musical career, as seen through the eyes of her accompanist, Cosme McMoon.
