The Madwoman of Chaillot
Jean Giraudoux
Set in 1966 in a soon-to-be-exploding Paris, Madame Melville is the intimate story of Carl, a fifteen-year-old American and his teacher, the beautiful Claudie Melville.
Over a night and a day, Carl discovers an unimagined world where beauty, loneliness, love, sex and art are one.
About Carl's initiation into far more than just sex, Madame Melville is one of Richard Nelson's most emotionally complex and satisfying plays.
Madame Melville is a American play written by Richard Nelson and published by Faber & Faber in London (2000).
