A story of paralysing passionLate 19th century; Paris. In a small dusty haberdasherrsquo;s shop near the Seine in the dank; narrow Passage du Pont Neuf; the young and beautiful Theacute;regrave;se Raquin is trapped in a loveless marriage to her sickly cousin; Camille. While her husband is out all day working; Theacute;regrave;se is confined behind the counter of the small shop and ndash; every Thursday evening ndash; to watching her domineering aunt; Madame Raquin; play dominoes with a very odd assortment of old friends.One Thursday evening Camille brings a childhood friend to the party ndash; the bluff and attractive Laurent ndash; and he inspires such powerful feelings in Theacute;regrave;se that she surrenders all her inhibitions and loyalties to a brutal and overwhelming passion that overturns all their lives and has results no one could have foreseenhellip;In keeping with the innovative and challenging nature of the original work; this radical new adaptation uses music; lyrics and movement to heighten and distil the underlying themes; and a three-woman chorus to give voice to Theacute;regrave;sersquo;s secret fears and desires.
