The Sound of Silence

Jean Cocteau, Anthony Wood

Overview

A modern, accessible translation of Cocteau's monologue Le Bel Indifferent which combines black humour and tragedy. The woman awaits the return of her lover, a notorious gigolo. As the hours tick by she becomes increasingly frustrated. When Emile finally arrives he calmly ignores her outburst, preparing to leave again as the woman rushes to the window.
