Certaines personnes surexposeacute;es meacute;diatiquement voient leur corps leur eacute;chapper. Le corps de Mario Balotelli ne lui appartient plus; il est deacute;sormais - et deacute;jagrave; depuis quelques anneacute;es - agrave; la communauteacute; des lecteurs de la presse sportive ou de la presse agrave; sensation; et agrave; celle; aussi; des teacute;leacute;spectateurs qui attendent de nouveaux exploits sportifs; ou de nouvelles incartades; ou de nouvelles grossiegrave;reteacute;s. Son corps ne lui appartient plus; la communauteacute; sen est empareacute;. Ce nest pas le moindre des paradoxes - puisquils nen veulent pas -; et ce nest pas un petit drame; mais peut-ecirc;tre un deacute;chirement profond.

In fact there was such a discrepancy of style between Middleton and the other two works that I found it hard to believe that they were written by the same man. The less exciting plays were both rather dull English family tales; full of monologues and lacking in dramatic action. The good one was written when the author was 28 and went unproduced for several years before it finally made a big splash on the stage. Storey was also a professional rugby player and is best known for his novel "This Sporting Life."​Middleton is the witty and confusing story of an odd; bombastic schoolteacher who lives with his wife and her mother. His wife is at odds with the both of them; and Middleton blatantly flirts with his mother-in-law. Some of the story (and there isnt much of one) deals with a coat of armor that Middleton has brought home with him. It is a tribute to the verve of the dialogue and screwy relationships of the story that the play is fascinating in spite of its lack of a plot. A couple of other characters show up: one of Middletons colleagues; a suave fellow named Hanson who brings along one of their young female students that he plans to bed. Middleton gives the okay to have the dirty deed done in his home; but all of the characters end up getting drunk together and behaving ridiculously; and it is unclear how things turn out. Can you imagine something like this happening these days? I cant.Middleton is blatantly jealous of his colleagues good fortune; and Mrs. Middleton is jealous of her mother for the attention she is drawing from her husband. The characters break into hilarious doggerel and make goofy comments whose meanings are hard to make out. The piece has a light; irreverent; sixties feel and seems to be influenced by the theatre of the absurd movement of the fifties. In the end there is a revelation about the main character; but this "resolution" seems more like an excuse to end the proceedings than a convincing conclusion. Despite this; the play is a classic piece of English eccentricity and remains full of lively; weird fun from beginning to end. It would be interesting to see this on stage; but it is so English that I doubt it ever gets performed in the USA.
