Marguerite Duras wrote somewhere: “I went mad in the full light of reason.â€
At one point in the play, Sarah Kane’s main character — tonight, phoning in through Huppert’s voice — must react to a psychiatrist lurking behind the stage’s diaphanous curtain. The doctor mocks her by saying:
“You don’t need a friend. You need a doctor.â€
Huppert responds, in the only words in the play directly spoken to this man, a play that is nothing but inner dialogue aimed at Kane’s precarious mind, at the precarious audience…at me, at my friend:
“You are so wrong.â€
