Notes:

Original Playwright - Alfred de Musset

Synopsis:

De Musset's 1845 short play is given here with a prelude based on his 12-line poem Le rideau de ma voisine which presents us with a man looking across to a window opposite and hoping that a movement of a curtain means that the woman there is wondering whether he is watching her. He does indeed seem to be the same character as the besotted Baron of the 50 minute two-hander which shows him calling upon his neighbour the Marquise and his gradual progression from diffident politeness to a declaration of his love.

Synopsis:

Perdican, returns from the university of Paris to his father's chateau, where the elderly and fussy Baron presides over his pastoral kingdom. Also returning is Camille, Perdican's younger cousin, only 18 and fresh from the convent. They have not seen each other for nearly ten years, and it is the Baron's hope -- and detailed plot - that they will marry. All seems set for an ideal marriage, but Camille is withdrawn and announces her return to the convent to become a nun. A humiliated Perdican seeks consolation with a peasant girl, Rosette. So the stage is set for a pastoral love comedy. Or is it? The scenes shift between the grotesque and blinded older generation who act more like puppets than people, and the younger generation who use love as a weapon , but with no idea of what the tragic results can be.
