HILDA by Marie Ndiaye

Presented by the Seymour Centre's BITE, Hot Seat Theatre and Persophia

Franck needs money, his wife Hilda takes a job as a nanny for Mrs Lemarchand, a well-to-do socialist. Mrs Lemarchand soon turns Hilda into a prisoner, mind and body. But does she want Hilda, or does she want Franck?

HILDA is an intriguing bittersweet study of seduction and rejection – a story of looking for love in the wrong places and what happens when love is unrequited.

Hugely theatrical in style, HILDA examines human desire and the serious consequences of flirtation gone mad – what would you sell to be happy?

Everyone needs help sometimes – but not when the help turns to Hell…

a masterpiece…Ndiaye displays the kind of grace that tightrope walkers share with great writers Telrama (FRANCE)
