South London Theatre - The Blue Room
The Blue Room by David Hare (freely adapted from Arthur Schnitzler’s La
Ronde)
Directed by Maria Bates
Performances: Tuesday 5th to Saturday 9th April 2011, Bell Theatre
The Blue Room is based on a series of vignettes written by Dr Arthur
Schnitzler in 1896. It explores various themes including the seemingly
pointless nature of sexual connections, love, longing and the
fickleness of human behaviour that is based largely on who we are
interacting with at any given moment.
In Hare’s retelling, the story remains the same, ten characters fall in
and out of bed with each other, never quite finding fulfilment but the
setting and some of the ideas have changed.
The backdrop for The Blue Room is described ambiguously as ‘one of the
great cities of the world, in the present day'. This is indicative of
how the landscape and characters can transcend time and place. Perhaps
attitudes have changed but the basic feelings associated with these
interactions and relationships have not.
Whether we speak about the original version of the play that caused
police action to ensue or the media hyped more recent production that
saw Nicole Kidman in the lead role, it has had the same
effect....audiences flocked to both productions.
**Please note that this production is not suitable for children and
contains adult content, nudity and smoking.**
