Michaelmas Week 7

From a fractured childhood in the chateaus of the French countryside, to an
old age trapped in the final, brilliant flash of Parisian society, before
war extinguishes its lights. Marcel has spent his life watching. Now is the
time for telling. Telling a tale of glamour and corruption, decadence and
depravity.

It has been a one-hundred year journey from Proust's astonishing memoir,
which blew off the doors of the salons of the privileged, to Harold Pinter
and Di Trevis' final script, which challenged theatregoers around the
world. In the first production since its groundbreaking run at the National
Theatre, BATS production takes the story onwards, marking a new chapter in
cutting edge Cambridge theatre. A night to remember.
