Henry's Wife
Music by Randall Eng
Libretto by Alexis Bernier
On his arrival at Henry’s estate, Daniel realizes that there is a much more personal rather than professional reason for his being there. He experiences “love at first sight” with Pascal and unprovoked antagonism from Marisa. And it seems that he is being interviewed by Henry rather than the other way around. Finally, Henry reveals that for a long time, he has been dreaming about his dead first wife and the dream life he shares with her has become more important, more satisfying, more real to him than his waking life. The dreamed directives of Henry’s late wife have been given voice through Henry and all four characters must find ways to now accept and follow.
