Summary

1. "Performed only by two actors, The malady of death portrays the relationship between a man and the woman he hires for a seaside tryst. The play is based on a poem-like novel by the late Marguerite Duras, who worked with Wilson as he developed his conception of the piece...he has revived the work in a French version performed by Lucinda Childs and Michel Piccoli." -- robertwilson.com
