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. | |||||
