Synopsis
David Hare's new adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler's classic and notorious "La Ronde".
With just two actors (Nicole Kidman and Ian Glenn at the Donmar Warehouse, London) playing all of the parts, he creates a fascinating landscape of dream and longing.
Press Reviews
"Generates enough erotic energy to raise the dead of two continents...a funny, intelligent and razor sharp satire that strips bare not just the follies of the flesh but also the delusions of desire itself."
— The New York Daily News
"Pure theatre Viagra."
— London Daily Telegraph
"The hottest show in town."
— The New York Post
