The Werewolf 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?

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.

John Rackham translated Le Loup Garou some years ago, and then last year
began work on adapting it for the stage.
