Description:

Playwright Maurice is on the very verge of having success and notoriety upon the opening of his new play. In fact, he's so elated at his future prospects that he's decided to propose to his mistress, Jeanne once the evening is over. However, he comes into contact with a femme fatale named Henriette, who so beguiles him with danger and mystery that he doesn't attend his own show and instead spends the entire night with her, forgetting all about his mistress and child. Word spreads throughout France the following morning, and the public utterly shames the impromptu couple for spending the night together, causing the theater to pull Maurice's play, Jeanne to leave Maurice, and Henriette to scheme upon the molding of this now contemptible beast for her own means.... Come see the consequences of actions and the impact of societal expectations in this strange yet unwavering comedy known as "Crime and Crime." Duration - 2h 9m. Author - August Strindberg. Narrator - Brendan Moir. Published Date - Sunday, 14 January 2024. Copyright - © 1904 August Strindberg ©.
