Madam T

A Bordello Opera

Forbhreathnú

  • Drámadóir

    Johnny Hanrahan 

  • Nótaí Faoin Údar

    Based on Maupassant's comic short story, The House of Madam Tellier.
  • Suíomh

    Set in a small dockside brothel

  • Achoimre

    Madam T and her girls entertain local worthies in her genteel parlour, offering the promise and the glimpse of the erotic and the exotic. An improvised family evolves in this place where private desires and pain are embraced in an atmosphere of tea, illicit sex and sympathy. When Madam T is asked to revisit her own country family as communion sponsor for her niece, her entire entourage decamps to her home village.
