This play has been read within the Rencontres à la Maison du Comédien – Maria Casarès (Alloue, Charente).
This new production will be recorded and broadcast by France Culture.

The text has been published by Éditions de l’Arche.

First there is the language of Martin Crimp, his ruthless humor, the way he beats around a topic without ever trapping us. It is his first play, a radio play, and it begins like a studio recording. By the end, we feel at home with that couple, an ordinary couple. They speak to each other but they don’t listen, they listen but they don’t hear. Yet tenderness will save them.

Picture a day like this, the fourth opera by two master-craftsmen, one of words, the other of sound, Martin Crimp and George Benjamin, is a universal tale which is as unreal as it is full of emotions. The piece is a magical fable about human nature and self-discovery.
