The Bodies archiveThe Bodies is based on Emile Zola's novel, Therese Raquin and it's territory is the deepest, darkest recesses of the psyche. Published in 1868, this study of sexual obsession, murder, guilt and revenge caused a scandal for its portrayal of depravity but was, of course, an immediate success with the public. Flannery read the novel, found himself totally transfixed by its passion but finally unconvinced. He determined to rewrite it, saying what he is convinced Zola would have said if the could, unconstrained by the mores of the times. Set in Victorian Tyneside, Flannery's The Bodies is a thoroughly modern play, savagely sexual and violent.
