David Hare's play The Blue Room puts sex under the microscope. In this adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler's 1897 work, Reigen, the characters experience the futility and desperation of searching for life's answer's through carnal pleasure. Now Plymouth State University's Theater Department is exposing the work to New Hampshire audiences. We'll talk with the play's director and dramaturge about sex, society and breaking down taboos.
Our Guests Are:
Heather Hamilton, Adjunct Instructor of Theatre History and Acting at Plymouth State University. She's directing this weekend's production of The Blue Room.
William Viau, Plymouth State Student and actor portraying "The Student" in this weekend's production of The Blue Room. William also served as the play's dramaturge.
