PURPLE FIG

ONE LAST BITE OF LIFE

What would you do if it were your last night on earth? For Johann Friedrich Struensee, doomed doctor of the Danish court, it meant a picnic with his love and their friends on the last night before his death. As always, champagne and figs, his favorite fruit, were on the menu, as dusk turned the sky purple. Joy and tears, sorrow and laughter, a bitter sweet cocktail that lives on in this Purple Fig.
