The Hunchback Of Notre Dame
By Victor Hugo
26th July at 8:00pm
(Thursday)
|
Victor Hugos classic Beauty and the Beast story is told through the mangled words of the Hunchback, Quasimodo. High on the roof of his beloved Notre Dame, alone except for the still body of Esmeralda he rails against the citizens of Paris and the cruelties of the age. His desperate loneliness, his unrequited love for the young gypsy and devotion to his father, the priest who raised him, fuel his anger and despair. His rejection by all because of his appearance reflect and challenge todays obsession with image and perfect beauty. If beauty is only skin deep then perhaps, so is ugliness.
