The 1954 movie entitled “Sabrina” was based on the play and starred Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, and William Holden. Artistic Director Donna Lubow (Riverwoods) directs this Cinderella story about Sabrina Fairchild, the daughter of a chauffeur who works for the wealthy Larrabee family, who live in a mansion on the North Shore of Long Island. Returning from a five-year stay in Paris, Sabrina presents herself as a young woman of beauty, charm, sophistication and zest for living, so different from the domestic’s daughter the family had largely ignored. She proclaims her desire “to do everything and see everything, sense everything; to know that life is an enormous experience and must be used. To be in the world, and of the world, and never stand aside and watch.”
