The Blue Room: A Play in Ten Intimate Acts

The Blue Room: A Play in Ten Intimate Acts

David Hare
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Arthur Schnitzler described "Reigen," his loose series of sexual sketches, as "completely unprintable," and indeed its premiere in 1921 spurred an obscenity suit. It was only when Ma Ophuls made his famous film in 1950 that the work became better known as "La Ronde." Now David Hare has reset these circular scenes of love and betrayal in present day, with a cast of two actors playing a succession of characters whose sexual lives enmesh like a daisy chain. "The Blue Room" is a brilliant meditation on men and women, sex and social class, actors and the theater. With deft insight about the gap between the sexes, "The Blue Room" takes the treacherous Freudian subject of projection and desire and reinvents it in a bittersweet landscape that is both eternal and completely up-to-date.
