Albert Camus’s 1956 novel The Fall, his last complete work of fiction, consists of several monologues. Talking to a stranger, the protagonist Jean-Baptiste Clamence tells of how his lofty career as a Parisian defense lawyer tumbled into existential crisis, simply because he began examining his own hypocrisy. For example, after helping a blind man cross the street, he tipped his hat at the man, then realized the gesture was for public recognition since the blind man couldn’t see it. In Alexis Lloyd’s stage adaptation, the Belgian actor Ronald Guttman stars as Clamence. Didier Flamand directs. —Jensen Davis
