Drama Classics: The World's Great Plays at a Great Little Price
Arthur Schnitzler's famous 'daisy-chain' play of sexual coupling, set in Vienna in the 1890s.
La Ronde is a play of ten scenes, each depicting a couple in a sexual liaison. There are ten characters altogether, each appearing in two adjacent scenes, forming an endless chain of sexual links across all the layers of Viennese society.
This edition, in the Nick Hern Books Drama Classics series, features a translation by Stephen Unwin and Peter Zombory-Moldovan.
