Albert Camus’ The Fall comes to life onstage as Belgian-born actor Ronald Guttman embodies the anguish of exiled Parisian lawyer Jean-Baptiste Clamence. Directed by Didier Flamand, this solo theatrical adaptation by Alexis Lloyd of the Nobel Prize-winning author’s final novel transports the audience to Amsterdam’s red-light district, circa 1956. The Fall features a subtle, but powerful, performance by Guttman who explores the profound truths of Camus’ last complete work of fiction. Culpability, shame, and regret are ever present in the stories told by Clamence to strangers in a bar called Mexico City. Through his restless and elegant presentation, the audience becomes Clamence’s confessor, his mirror, and he becomes theirs. But what does he reveal? Are these the musings of a guilt-ridden man avoiding judgement or a postmodern prophet of the human condition?
