Notes: | Original Playwright - Henri Becque. One Rose, Two Thorns is based on La Parisienne (1885), the best-remembered work of French realist playwright Henry Becque. I reduced it from three acts and injected more humour into it while leaving its 'bite' intact. The setting is clearly France, but with theme and characters of such continuing relevance I have used language that would not be out of place at any time in the 20th century. This 30-minute two-hander can be staged alone or as part of What The Heart Wants, the translator's comic trilogy on the theme of marital fidelity. | |||||
Synopsis: | Clotilde and her husband are on vacation in the Inn when a visitor drops by . . . her lover. Jealousy also makes an appearance (with a delicious plot twist), leaving Clotilde less than enchanted with both Frederic and Lafont. | |||||
