by Olwen Wymark

Baba has a difficult teenage daughter, a quixotic husband, a dotty old father (or is he?) and a best friend in whom she confides her attempts to write. As Nelly reads her latest play, their lives are also conjured up by the fictional characters in Baba's play.

Best Friends, directed by Sam Walters, was first performed with the same cast at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, last March.

Opera in a prologue and three acts by Massenet (1901) Libretto by Armand Sylvestre and Eugene Morand (sung In French)
A direct relay from the Theatre Royal, Wexford
The heroine of Massenet's 15th opera came from Boccaccio's Decameron, though her story was also told In Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. The setting is medieval Provence, where the lovely shepherdess Griselidis becomes wife of the Marquis. He goes away to the Crusades, and the Devil - more comical than diabolical, and smarting from his own shrewish wife - comes to tempt her while her husband is absent. He conjures up a handsome suitor, abducts her son, but fails to shake her fidelity.
