The Blue Room

The Blue Room, David Hare’s updated version of Arthur Schnitzler’s La Ronde, tells a circular story of seduction in which ten different couples seek intimacy, love and connection. However, each encounter brings only emptiness, unraveling their illusions and leaving them yearning for something more. The two actors play a succession of roles, ranging from a prostitute to an actress or a cab driver to an aristocrat, throughout the ten vignettes.
