Three very odd triplets are consumed by suffering; an unusual couple is inflamed by love; a lonely woman's heart is kindled by forbidden desire. Somewhere between black comedy and Greek tragedy, this ferocious, poetic, and tightly structured mini-epic is an exploration of heredity and fate, written with David Paquet's signature blend of taut language, theatrical dazzle, and genuine compassion. This play is translated from Le brasier by David Paquet.
