Play by Marguerite Duras, based on her 1954 novella. Des journées entières dans les arbres opened at the Odéon, Paris, in December 1965, directed by Jean-Louis Barrault and starring Madeleine Renaud, Berrault's wife and France's most renowned stage actress. The RSC presented the British premiere a few months later at the Aldwych. John Schlesinger directed Renaud's English equivalent, Peggy Ashcroft. A wealthy elderly woman returns from the colonies to visit her son. She wants him to manage the family business. He prefers to continue his Parisian life, gambling and pimping his girlfriend. The text is richly ambiguous. The son, although despicable, has broken free from his mother's world of middle-class values and colonial exploitation.
