As an affirmation of freedom, the Crown Prince of Burgundy decides to defy society, break all natural law, and marry a girl who is a commoner, and one who has not been blessed with beauty and is far from flawless. Princess Yvonne upsets a world that is completely unprepared for difference. Slowly tempers rise and insidious absurdity spreads, until they all come to the conclusion that the only thing they can do is kill her... Following on from his Camus (‘The Misunderstanding’) and Ionesco (‘The Bald Soprano’ at McDonald’s), Joan Ollé tackles this time the adaptation of another of the leading 20th century avant-garde writers. |
