Camille by Charles Ludlam

5.0

"My good man, if I were to begin to take care of myself, I would die. Don't you see that it is only the feverish life I live that keeps me alive? The moment that I am no longer amusing to people, they leave me, and the long days are followed by longer nights."


I had read "La Dame aux Camellias" a few years ago, and returning back to it with this play brought back so many feelings. Marguerite Gautier makes me very very sad. I think the reimagining of the main love story as a damned love story between a man in genderfuck drag as Gautier and another man is quite interesting, would LOVE to see a performance of this.
