L’Amante Anglaise:
The Lovers of Viorne
“Engrossing
theatre … Two accomplished and inspiring actors”
Kate Herbert, Herald Sun
A brutal murder is committed in a small town in France. The
dismembered corpse is dropped from a railway viaduct onto passing trains below
– all except the head. Based upon an actual event, L’Amante Anglaise is a
beautifully poignant and emotionally powerful portrait of lost passion.
This modern classic psychological thriller from celebrated
French author, Marguerite Duras, takes you right inside the heart and mind of
the perpetrator.
Pierre (Rob Meldrum) and Claire Lannes (Jillian Murray -2015
Green Room winner, Best Female Performer, Independent Theatre) are ordinary
human beings leading everyday lives until catastrophe occurs. Over the course
of the drama they effortlessly reveal the beauty and brutality of their inner
selves, and create a painstaking portrait of lost passion. Performed
exquisitely and directed by Laurence Strangio L’Amante Anglaise is a rare and
unmissable work of theatre.
