Details

Mrs Lemarchand, a well-to-do woman and a study in megalomania, draws her innocent cleaner, Hilda, into a trap from which there is no escape. Hilda's life, and her marriage to the hapless Franck, is destroyed by Mrs Lemarchand's spiralling obsessions. Marie Ndiaye is a 33 year-old novelist whose work explores cruelty in everyday life by pushing it to the extremes. She shook France's literary circles with her latest novel 'Rosie Carpe' which won the prestigious 'Prix Femina'. Hilda is her first play.
