The Werewolf
Written by Boris Vian
Translated and Directed by John Rackham

Denis is the last in a long line of intelligent wolves living
unnoticed in woods north of Paris. But when he is bitten by a
werewolf he wakes on the day of the next full moon to find that he
has become human.

Denis decides to go into Paris, where he encounters the Dilettantes
of the Ramobolitan Chub, fish liberation fighters, a prostitute and
her pimps and a motorbike cop. How will he survive the world of men?

Starring John Rackham, Shelley Halsted, Denise Amrikhas and George
Espilanty

5 Stars
Amazing, mysterious, Parisian tale - mythical, haunting, amusing,
poignant. Enchantingly performed by this stunningly delightful cast.
This is something special. Don't miss it!!!


5 Stars
"The Werewolf" is well-written, well-designed, and well-acted.
Consistent attention to detail, nuanced performances, entertaining
physical comedy and dialogue, and a thought-provoking theme: human
beastliness revealed through the perspective of a gentle French wolf
who gets bitten by a human werewolf and turns into a human under the
full moon. I found "The Werewolf" to be much more professional and
enjoyable than many previous Fringe plays. Highly recommended.

This is John Rackham's fourth outing to the San Francisco Fringe with
his company Rogues' Yarn. Previously they brought an adaptation of
Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness' and two sketch comedy shows. This
year brings a new departure for the company, their interpretation
Boris Vian's short story Le Loup Garou.
John Rackham translated Le Loup Garou some years ago, and then last
year began work on adapting it for the stage.

Boris Vian, engineer, pataphysician, novelist, playwright and jazz
trumpeter became infamous in France when a murder in his book J'irai
Cracher Sur Vos Tombes (I Will Spit on Your Graves) was copied in
reality and the book left open by the body of the victim. Vian was
tried for vicarious murder. Intellectuals including Jean Paul
Sartre collected money to pay the massive fine.
