Reigen, Schnitzler's loose series of sexual sketches, became better known after they were filmed, as La Ronde, in 1950. David Hare has re-set these circular scenes of love and betrayal, transposing them from the Vienn'se original of 1898 to a modern city of 1998, creating a fascinating lan'scape of dream and longing. |
