THE BLUE ROOM - A Play in Ten Intimate Acts by David Hare

The Blue Room is based on Arthur Schnitzler's Reigen - a series of sketches Max Ophilus made into the famous film La Ronde in 1950. Award-winning British playwright David Hare has reset these circular scenes of love and betrayal in the present day, with a cast of two actors playing a succession of characters whose lives enmesh and entwine. The Blue Room is a brilliant meditation on men and women, society and social class, actors and the theatre. With deft insight into the gap between the sexes, The Blue Room takes the treacherous subjects of relationships between men and women and reinvents it in a bittersweet landscape that is both eternal and completely up-to-date.

FOR ADULTS ONLY.

What the critics have said about the play:

A witty, contemporary reworking of Arthur Schnitzler's nineteenth-century "La Ronde"
-The Mail On Sunday

Hare - buttressed by Freud and Proust - has turned betrayal and pain into something more interesting, the idea that what we are in love with is part illusion.
-The Observer

Hare's version is, in the deepest and most essential sense, completely faithful to Schnitzler - a vividly illustrated Freudian textbook.
-The Sunday Times
