The Massive Tragedy of Madame Bovary is now playing at Southwark Playhouse!
Scheduled to star in this show are Ben Kernow, Darren Seed, Georgia Nicholson, Stephen Cavanagh
The classic Flaubert novel about a woman struggling with the patriarchy – scandalous at time of publishing in 1856 – receives a comic, fast-paced adaptation with a cast of four all playing multiple roles. Presented by Ha Hum Ah Productions and the Minack Theatre, the production was previously staged at the Minack Theatre and on national tour.
Emma Bovary is bored. She’s bored with her boring doctor husband, bored with her boring provincial village and bored with her role as a dutiful wife in (boring) nineteenth-century France. But Emma reads novels. Lots of novels. And in novels, life is much more fun… Now, watch four actors battle hilarious mishaps and misbehaving props to tell the (massively) tragic story of Madame Bovary. There will be vermin, visual absurdity, wild animals and a nun.
