The Blue Room follows a chain of sexual encounters between an intriguingly
diverse selection of characters – a prostitute and a cab driver, a
politician and a model, an actress and an aristocrat – and the journey that
they take, individually and collectively, in their relationships, whether
relationships of love or lust.
When Arthur Schnitzler’s La Ronde, from which this play was adapted,
premiered in Vienna in 1921 the play was closed down by the police, and the
actors in its first Berlin production the same year had to endure a six-day
trial on charges of obscenity.
A series of sexual encounters: erotic, illegal,
vulgar, gentle, corrupt, dishonest, The Blue
Room promises an unforgettable evening of thought provoking and
challenging theatre.
