Version 7
Martin Guerre (1996-07-Prince Edward Theatre-London)
Type de série: OriginalThéâtre: Prince Edward Theatre (Londres - Angleterre)Durée : 1 an 7 mois 3 semaines Nombre : 695 représentationsPremière Preview : Friday 21 June 1996Première : Wednesday 10 July 1996Dernière : Saturday 28 February 1998Mise en scène : Declan Donnellan • Chorégraphie : Bob Avian • Producteur : Avec : Iain Glenn (Arnaud du Thil), Juliette Caton (Bertrande de Rols), Matt Rawle (Martin Guerre), Michael Matus (Benoit), Jerome Pradon (Guillaume), Ann Emery, Sheila Reid, Julia Sutton, Susan Jane Tanner, Martin Turner.
(In the revised version the role of Bertrande was shared with Rebecca Lock)Commentaires : Based on the 1982 French film “The Return of Martin Guerre”, and a 1993 re-make “Sommersby”, this was a £3.75 million mega-musical which had apparently been seven years in the planning. The original previews were cancelled and delayed for three weeks because of technical difficulties, leading to threatened court-action from disappointed ticket-holders demanding compensation for expenses incurred. It was an impressive, worthy but somewhat dark and humourless show and received a series of very unenthusiastic reviews. Business dropped off, but rather than abandon the show, Cameron Mackintosh spent another half million pounds on a major re-write, including new songs (and the services of yet another lyricist, Stephen Clark) and much revision. Four months after opening, the show closed for three days and was then re-launched as the “New Martin Guerre”. It was shorter and more focussed on the romantic story, with less religious conflict and more emphasis on the character of Bertrande. However, it closed in February 1998, in spite of winning the Olivier Award for Best New Musical, allegedly with total losses of £7 million.

Martin Guerre (1996-07-Prince Edward Theatre-London) Version 1
Type de série: OriginalThéâtre: Prince Edward Theatre (Londres - Angleterre)Durée : 3 mois 2 semaines Nombre : Première Preview : Friday 21 June 1996Première : Wednesday 10 July 1996Dernière : Sunday 27 October 1996Mise en scène : Declan Donnellan • Chorégraphie : Bob Avian • Producteur : Avec : Iain Glenn (Arnaud du Thil), Juliette Caton (Bertrande de Rols), Matt Rawle (Martin Guerre), Michael Matus (Benoit), Jerome Pradon (Guillaume), Ann Emery, Sheila Reid, Julia Sutton, Susan Jane Tanner, Martin Turner.Commentaires : The first version premièred in London at the Prince Edward Theatre on 10 July 1996. Edward Hardy worked on the lyrics and Declan Donnellan directed. It was a spectacular production but not only were the reviews mixed there were also some major concerns expressed by the public and the creative team alike. In the early weeks the creative team worked hard and quickly to clarify the narrative, rearrange some of the material and remove one pretty but non-essential song. But the story did not have the emotional tug on the heartstrings that their previous work had. Stephen Clark took over as co-lyricist and small changes were continually being made.Presse : Les critiques de la version originale (version 1) étaient majoritairement mauvaises:
"Its book lacks real narrative thrust and excitement" (NICHOLAS DE JONGH, EVENING STANDARD, 7.11.96)
Les Miz and Miss Saigon had a mélodie sweep and emotional clarity signally absent from Martin Guerre" (MICHAEL CO-VENEY, OBSERVER, 7.14.96);
"In Declan Donnellans stylistically-insecure pro¬duction the dramatic métronome has stopped ticking" (ROBERT BUTLER, INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY, 7.14.96);
"Martin Guerre îs a bore, and a surprïsingly inemeient bore" (ALISTAIR MACAULAY, FINANCIAL TIMES, 7.11,96).
Certaines étaient un peu plus favorables... :
"Martin Guerre is an admirable, high-quality company création ... a beautifully produced addition to London's theatreland" (STEVE GRANT, TIME OUT, 7.17,96)
"For the third time in little more than a décade, or so it would seem from ail but about two of the first dozen reviews, Alain Boubiil and Claude-Michel Schonberg hâve written a great and classic musical which nobody likes except the public. .Martin Guerre is as much a masterpiece of musical magie and mystery as that earlier score (Les Misérables)" (Sheridan Morley, Spectator, 7.20.96).

"The narrative is clear and full of suspense, there are some sharper lyrics (by Stephen Clark), and the emotional volume has been dramatkally turned up" Georgina Brown, Mail on Sunâay, 11.17,96
"The relaunched version at the Prince Edward at least has a narrative drive and cohérence missing from the original" Michael Billington, Guardian, 11.13,96
"The pièce has now been rejigged and, in my view, significantly improved" Benedict Nightingale, The Times, 11.13,96
"The show has been restructured to make it both clearer and more plausible,..it now has scènes of real power and passion, while its achingiy romantic mélodies linger resonantly in the mernory" Charles Spencer, Daiîy Telegraph, 11.12.96

Ensemble cast will include Aaron Anthony, Jonno Davies, Peter Hannah, Nick Hart, Joshua Higgott, Sioned Jones, Sandy Murray, Ellie Nunn, Thomas Padden, Stevie Raine, Elliot Rennie and Florence RobertsPresse : "This is the best British comedy since One Man, Two Guvnors and deserves equal success." Charles Spencer for The Telegraph
"Many of the best lines admittedly come from the famous film. But this is a play that stands on its own two feet as a heady celebration of the act of theatre." Michael Billington for The Guardian
"The backstage re-angling, the impassioned presentation of the death scene of Romeo and Juliet, and the haunting intimations of Twelfth Night, sharpened by the suggestion that the censorious Master of the Revels is a forerunner of Malvolio, are all masterly. It makes you feel grateful to be alive." Paul Taylor for The Independent
"A few heavy-handed moments aside, Shakespeare in Love has a fizzy, infectious exuberance." Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard
"Director Declan Donnellan’s show is a swooning, skittish delight, all the merrier for containing no top-flight stars." Quentin Letts for The Daily Mail

With its nine-piece orchestra and staged in the small Cottesloe studio theatre, prior to opening this was mocked as “Teeny Todd, the cut-down version of Sweeney”.
