{"product_id":"9781472537157","title":"La Ronde","description":"Schnitzler's masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eLa Ronde\u003c\/i\u003e, shows a spectrum of social class from prostitutes to noblemen in a series of drily observed, loveless sexual encounters. Remembered by many as the basis of a famous film in 1950, the real notoriety of \u003ci\u003eLa Ronde\u003c\/i\u003e goes back to 1900 when it was privately printed and subsequently banned. It was not performed until 1920 in Berlin, where anti-Semitic riots broke out, resulting in the arrest and trial of the cast and director, allegedly for obscenity. The controversy continued with David Hare's adaptation, \u003ci\u003eThe Blue Room\u003c\/i\u003e, which starred Nicole Kidman, at the Donmar Warehouse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis translation is by the playwright and critic Frank Marcus, who has also provided a full introduction to Schnitzler's life and work.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125105606896,"sku":"9781472537157","price":14.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781472537157_p0.jpg?v=1763598406","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781472537157","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
