Prayers and thoughts: The Inseparables @Finboroughtheatre

The Inseparables brings Simone de Beauvoir’s posthumously published novel to life. It traces a lifelong friendship between Sylve and Andrée, two unconventional girls who grew up in a stifling world where being a woman meant getting married or entering a convent. With a quick pace and engaging performances from the two leads, it is a journey back into the 20th century that captures two unconventional women trapped in a conventional world that will have you reflecting on how much or little things have moved on in the last century. It’s currently playing at the Finborough Theatre .  We’re introduced to Sylve praying for her country, France, to be saved from the war and indoctrinated into the world of faith and obedience. But too smart for all that, her life was full of detached guilt and boredom. But when she meets Andrée, a new arrival at her school, she is struck by how different she is from everyone else. She was burned in a fire and had a passion for life that nobody else she knew...

Distracted Paul: Uh wax?
Man with no shirt on: Yeah you know... for hair...
Paul: I don't have wax... I have clay... Wanna try?
Man with no shirt on: Oh I guess I could give that a shot...
Paul (producing tin): Here, help yourself...
Man with no shirt on: Oh so I just put a bit on my finger...
Paul: And rub it...
Man with no shirt on: Oh... Okay..
