Other Delights
This adaptation of the novel Other Delights is the second staging of one of Jerzy Pilch's works at the National Theatre, following The Holy Father's Skis.
An amorous veterinarian must cope with a difficult situation. At the door of the house where he lives with his wife, his parents and his grandmother - a model protestant family - his lover appears, having come to "stay with him forever". Terrified, he tries to avert inevitable catastrophe... With artful phrasing, Pilch tells an ordinary story of extraordinary love, a love which smites the hero with dramatic and theatrical force.
