The Dispute by Marivaux and translated by Neil Bartlett
Directed by Jeremy Skidmore
What if four children had been kept locked away in complete isolation since birth? What if, tonight, they were to be released for the first time? How would bodies and minds reared in darkness respond to the first words, the first lies, the first kisses? What if you got to watch? Neil Bartlett has translated and adapted a provocative new version of Marivaux's The Dispute that tells the tale of an experimental "Garden of Eden" filled with temptation, jealousy, and revenge all played out in the pursuit of the perfect mate.
