Wintersleep [1998]
(in Wintersleep, Ronsdale Press, Vancouver, 1998; in The Collected Radio Drama of Marie-Claire Blais, Cormorant Press, Toronto, 2007)
Original
Résumé A dead or dying man disintegrates spiritually amid the voices of unfulfilled possibilities from those around him. A blend of medieval morality play and Beckett-like malaise and regret for the modern loss of humanity and feeling. Extrait « Man's Voice is heard singing again: Beware. A little sleep, | and God fools you. | Beware. Beware. | Be on your guard. / DEAD MAN: Someone will come. I never despair. Yes, I hear footsteps... / Rapid steps are heard outside. / DEAD MAN: Ah, school kids, I suppose. They can't see me, but we played together once. All those seasons wasted on my bed of pain! Why was that? » |
