The Fair Lady, a Story with Much to Tell
Theatre 22/04/2010
Spanish director Fernando Bernués is in charge of directing Eduardo Mendoza's theatrical adaptation of Hungarian writer Sándor Márai's The Fair Woman, a dramatic and exhaustive social radiography on the history of the 1940s.
The Fair Woman (La Dona Justa in Catalan) is a story of passion, lies, betrayal and cruelty that comprises three false monologues. These monologues weave a story broken into three tales, a love triangle, with all its mysteries, revelations and distinct interpretations. It chronicles the decadence and extinction of an acutely hierarchised society and the massive change that swept Europe in the mid-20th century, consequence of war, destruction and barbarism. Each of the tales corresponds to Marika, Peter and Judit, the three characters that form this work. The stars of this tangled tale are actors Rosa Novell, Àlex Casanovas, Cristina Plazas and Víctor Pi, along with violinist Oriol Algueró.
This theatrical production has been co-produced by the Basque company Tanttaka Teatroa and CAER-Centre d'Arts Escèniques de Reus, a union that produced notable success in its premiere last month in the Teatro Bartrina in Reus.
According to Mendoza, "Márai's novel has never made its way to a stage, but his books have monologues and dialogues that adapt well to the theatre. The same story told by three characters, each one telling what the others haven't told". Mendoza sought to respect the monologue's structure and gave a fourth character a voice, "as it was already in the novel and represents the author himself".
The Fair Woman will be playing in Barcelona's Teatre Borràs until June 27, 2010.
