The Blue Room
Adapted from "La Ronde" by Arthur Schnitzler. Author(s):
David Hare
A sensation in London and one of the most sought-after tickets of the Broadway season, The Blue Room depicts a daisy chain of ten sexual encounters between five women and five men (all portrayed by one actor and one actress). Each couple is seen working their way up to having sex and, following a blackout, afterward when the hypocrisy, the folly and the loneliness become apparent. Then one of the two moves on to another partner. Men and women from all social levels intermix, from a bedraggled prostitute to an aristocratic politician. Freely adapting the original play from which the well-known movie La Ronde was made, Hare has moved the action from tum-of-the-century Vienna to modem London and infused the sketches with witty modem nuances. "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."-N.Y. Daily News. "Pure theatre Viagra."-London Daily Telegraph. "The hottest show in town."- N.Y. Post. "A range-stretching exercise for actors."- N.Y. Times.
