By
Jenny Enarsson
Armand
has loved Marguerite Gautier since the first moment he saw her.
She,
the most reputed prostitute in mid-nineteenth century Paris, has
never been in love.
When
he reveals his feelings to her she laughs it off, asking "And what
should I do with this great love of yours?". He answers, "Love me
back."
Slowly
but surely he gets under her skin against all odds, and that is
when the true torment begins.
Marguerite
suffers from tuberculosis and knows that she will die very soon.
Proud,
strong and acutely aware of who she is, she takes on the new and
unfamiliar feeling that is love as uncompromisingly as she does
everything else in life. But things are not as easy as that.
While
a business transaction between prostitute and client is perfectly
normal in Parisian high society, true love between a decent man
and a fallen woman is completely unacceptable.
In
this cruel community, people fall in and out of favour overnight
and friends appear and disappear accordingly.
As
Marguerite begins to succumb to her disease, it becomes clear that
she has, in her own words, a past that won't allow her to have a
future.
Daniela
Nardini is brilliant as Marguerite and conveys her self-destructive
energy in a way reminiscent of Anna, the character Nardini played
in This Life.
Elliot
Cowan gives a great performance as the intense and temperamental
Armand, and Beverly Klein is highly annoying as the shameless, flattering
and opportunistic Prudence.
Background
on the play:
Camille
is based on La Dame aux Cam茅lias, Alexandre Dumas' autobiographical
novel.
Armand,
the young man who loves Marguerite so much that he can neither eat
nor sleep, was based on Dumas and Marguerite - the object of his
affection - is based on a woman named Marie Duplessis.
