Une séparation Véronique Olmi | | Photo : Julia Olmi |
| | | Marie and Paul are a couple who don’t live together. They are fiftyish and reside in Paris. One morning Marie writes Paul a Dear John letter. Shattered by the news, Paul replies immediately, refusing to accept it. He loves her and will not separate. And she loves him too, of that he is certain. Une Séparation is an epistolary play that unravels what was a magnificent love story, from the first encounter to the last day, with its dazzling moments, doubts, mistakes and suffering. |
| ‘‘A play full of charm and cheekiness […] Véronique Olmi’s style is both powerful and gentle.’’
Armelle Héliot, Coup de Cœur Figaroscope, October 30 – November 5, 2013
‘‘In Véronique Olmi’s plays, wickedness is always cloaked in modesty. Her elegant style embodies the characters’ feelings very faithfully.’’
Macha Sery Le Monde des Livres
‘‘In Une séparation she evokes situations, creates characters whose words (and worries) speak to everyone. She strives to reach the essence and truth in people, and is remarkably successful at it.’’
Thomas Beaudeau www.fousdethéâtre.com
"A love story that runs aground on a pebble beach in Nice, and on the cobblestones of Paris. A separation that Marie decides upon one moonless night without her other half. Then she begins this daily exchange of letters with Paul, like a message in a bottle thrown out to sea. Their story is reborn under our very eyes, intimate, full of anger and delicacy, of listening, hope and incomprehension. They find each other again through their correspondence, probably closer than ever before, and take us with them on the tightrope of their fate."
