Passion, power, and class collide in Arthur Schnitzler’s delicious masterpiece, La Ronde. Set in 1900 Vienna, ten interlinked encounters lead us through the full spectrum of society. Among the characters - an actress, a poet, a parlour maid - we begin with a prostitute meeting a soldier, and end with that same prostitute dancing in the arms of an aristocrat.
While La Ronde may come full circle, the cycle of seduction and desire never ends.
This production contains scenes of a sexual nature. Suitable for ages 16+.
