First published for private circulation in Vienna in 1900, Arthur
Schnitzler's famous play looks at the sexual morality and class
ideology of his day through a series of sexual encounters between
pairs of characters. When published publicly in 1903, it became an
immediate best-seller, scandalized Viennese society, and a year
later was censored. Schnitzler was accused of pornography and
worse. In 1922 Freud wrote to him that "you have learned through
intuition-though actually as a result of sensitive
introspection-everything that I have had to unearth by laborious
work on other persons." By choosing characters across the social
spectrum, La Ronde offers a powerful view of how sexual contact
transgresses boundaries of class. Nicholas Rudall's new translation
sensitively captures the language distinctions of the
representative characters in the play while providing a remarkably
playable script. New in the Plays for Performance series.
