  • IN083 Calig Brochurev2
    Tonight we are proud to bring you the New Zealand professional premiere production of this European theatre classic by renowned French-Algerian writer Albert Camus. The piece has always appealed to me, combining as it does, cool almost casual existential argument with outrageous theatricality. As a character in Camus’ novel La Chute (The Fall) says, ‘The French have two passions: having opinions and having sex.’ English–speaking productions of the play have been rather stymied by stilted translations, but, by a happy coincidence, Oliver Driver emailed me last year about this brisk new translation by Scottish playwright David Greig which he had just seen at London’s Donmar Warehouse. The production was a sellout success. Suddenly Mr Camus’ play was ‘fashionable’ again. Certainly with tales of tyrants masked and unmasked filling our newspapers and TV programming, it is an appropriate time to revisit the piece. I leave it for you to decide what the play is about: the story of an intelligent tyrant whose motives seem both strange and profound; an account of a hideous social experiment where bizarre thoughts become a reality; or an extraordinary fugue on grief and the lengths to which pain of loss will drive us. But there is no denying the logic of Camus’ argument, the out and out theatricality and the finely observed characters. It is at the same time both very Roman and very French. My thanks to the cast and creative team – and a big welcome to Auckland Theatre Company’s mainbill to Peter Daube and David Van Horn. On a personal level thanks also to my son Willie, who was a classics scholar, French linguist, actor, poet, party animal and frequent visitor to Rome.
