Introduction
Between Worlds: "How on earth did I get here? When will I be able to leave? Where will I go?"
Every guest who gets to the Two Worlds Hotel asks the same questions. But nobody knows the answers. In this strange place, anything is possible, even miracles - the lame walk again and liars tell the truth. The enigmatic Doctor S. looks after the guests during their stay, but his silence only increases their fears. Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt's new play is a metaphysical suspense drama between dream and reality, life and death, comedy and tragedy. Schmitt's play is another desperate quest as well as a variation on the notion of Meaning. In the end, Mystery remains the sole reason for hope.
The guests are Colin, a man who has been drinking too much and has crashed his car into a tree. The Chairman who is a self-important businessman perpetually preoccupied with the belief that the only way he'll be able to leave is to organise a meeting with the doctor and to explain how well connected he is. The Magus, a fortune teller who has a detached, sardonic view of the others but with an underlying warmth and affection. Jessie a cleaning lady whose life on earth has never been comfortable, and who is amazed to find herself so well cared for. Laura, a paraplegic girl who in the real world is confined to a bed or a wheelchair and unable to do anything for herself but in the hotel has a normal healthy body.
