Original
Résumé Helen has lost her necklace in Beirut. The necklace is irreplaceable. The city is a maze of danger and emotion, especially for Helen who just came to Beirut to attend a conference. Time and reality are slipping through her fingers. The situation brings her into contact with a series of people, from a friendly taxi driver to a distraught mother and an angry, impassioned man. These characters all played by one man . Extrait « HELEN : […] And now I can cry for […] years. As if I had lost every man who ever smiled at me, and every blissful afternoon when I believed I had a place on earth, and all my assumptions, one assumption for each tiny pearl : that the world will get better, and that we have a thousand years of life […] in which to love, to change, to accomplish something, […] that we can cross over the borders which separate me from you […] » Revue de presse « If you're looking for a piece of theatre that's simple yet profound, then look no further than Tarragon Theatre and Helen's Necklace."
