Arthur Schnitzler’s Reigen (1897) has enjoyed multiple cinematic and theatrical translations and adaptions, from his own La Ronde in Vienna (1920) to David Hare’s The Blue Room (1998) and Jo DiPietro’s Fucking Men (2009) in New York. This conversation between director Mike Alfreds, who in his 50-year career has translated and directed three productions of La Ronde, and writer of Roundelay Sonja Linden, shed light on personal motivations which drew them both to Schnitzler’s play, as well as challenges and illuminations along the way. Introduced by Visible's director of outreach Claire French. A ROUNDELAY post-show discussion, Roundelay by Sonja Linden, 23 February to 18 March 2017, Southwark Playhouse
