Top of PageMassive Tragedy of Madame Bovary!, The
Gustave Flaubert's complex novel lovingly derailed by Peepolykus. For your viewing pleasure, Peepolykus proudly present Gustave Flaubert's masterpiece Madame Bovary. The seminal Nineteenth Century novel will be brought spectacularly to life by director Madame Bodinetz and her bijou cast (with a fair amount of doubling). Laugh and cry in equal measures as Emma Bovary chooses the wrong husband. Lose yourself in mesmeric love scenes featuring a stupendous collection of devastatingly handsome men. Question the impotence of women in a Victorian patriarchal society, if you want. Marvel at how many parts a Spanish man with limited English can play with only one moustache. There will be vermin, visual absurdity, wild animals and a nun. Can the cast of five rise to the ridiculous challenge they have set themselves? It's going to be hilarious. And bloody serious. Possibly.
Notes:
By Gustave Flaubert Adapted by John Nicholson and Javier Marzan. Written for a bijou cast of four playing multiple roles, The Massive Tragedy of Madame Bovary was a co-production between Peepolykus, Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse, the Nuffield in Southampton, Bristol Old Vic and the Royal & Derngate in Northampton.
