Therese Desqueyroux

Therese Desqueyroux was quite interesting for someone who wasn't familiar with such a type of show. Going into this, i was skeptical of whether or not i wanted to sit and watch this foreign, french movie. However, to my surprise, it turned out to be an entertaining display and i'm glad i could take part in it. Unfortunately for me, it wasn't until i got there that i realized i didn't have my phone with me and thus could not find a way to take pictures of anything. It also didn't help that I had nothing to do while waiting for the show to start due to the lateness of the show since it was the last day and they had been running late. Anyways, Therese Desqueyroux was a drama by Claude Miller that took place in France, in the 1920's. Therese marries a man named Bernard and is fascinated by his opinions and forceful personality. However, over time she becomes bored of his mediocrity and wishes for more such as Paris and tries to find ways to escape. Eventually, Bernard is almost poisoned accidentally which almost turns into an attempt at poisoning. Therese is then disgraced by her family and husband. The show was very well acted and displayed a great drama that completely blew me away. I was not expecting this as it is not something i do normally; however I enjoyed this show and being able to finally watch a show at the byrd theater. I will definitely be going back soon.
