Summary
Two-part dramatisation by Diana Griffiths of the novel by Emile Zola, set in mid-19th century Paris. Therese is forced by her aunt to marry her sickly son, Camille. However, upon moving to Paris, she and her lover Laurent conspire to murder Camille so that they may love freely.

Excellent adaptation
Much better than any of the recent film adaptations this production perfectly encapsulates how love and lust can begin a slow descent into murder and madness.

So enjoyable 😁
Really enjoyed this. I am a big Émile Zola fan, and this doesn’t disappoint. Great cast, well put together performance. Also have the Blood, Sex and Money dramatisation which is outstanding.

Zola At His Best
A good Victorian plot set in a claustrophobic atmosphere of a little shop somewhere in a small town in France.
Love betrayal murder along with a suffocating mother who dominates her mummies boy is all wrapped up in lust and ... well I do not want to spoil it for you ... a typical french fancy that I like to listen to every few years and I like it as much as the first time.

A good play for a Sunday afternoon
Nicely acted and an enjoyable play but latter half of the play got a bit predictable and silly. In some ways this is down to the story but minus the literary delivery of Zola it came across as a little rushed and melodramatic
A good listen and a good play to enjoy on a lazy afternoon but overall three stars - good/ok
