Arthur Schnitzler described Reigen, his loose series of sexual
sketches, as "completely unprintable, " and indeed its premiere in
1921 spurred an obscenity suit. It was only when Max Ophuls made
his famous film in 1950 that the work became better known as La
Ronde. Now David Hare has reset these circular scenes of love and
betrayal in the present day, with a cast of two actors playing a
succession of characters whose sexual lives enmesh like a daisy
chain. The Blue Room is a meditation on men and women, sex and
social class, actors and the theater. With deft insight about the
gap between the sexes, The Blue Room takes the treacherous Freudian
subject of projection and desire and reinvents it in a bittersweet
landscape that is both eternal and completely up-to-date.
