The Intruder
It is late on a summer night in a large country house. A family sits together in one room with the terrace door open, waiting for a doctor who was expected at nine. Through the door on the left, the mother is recovering from a difficult birth. Through the door on the right, the newborn has never once cried.
The grandfather is blind, and he is the only one who notices. The nightingales have stopped. Something came up the stairs. Someone has sat down at the table.
Death has entered the house to make a claim. The family spends the whole evening explaining away the one man who can tell.
The Intruder was written by Maurice Maeterlinck in 1890, in the translation by Richard Hovey. Adapted and produced by Eric VanRensselaer

Speaker:Jay Shin as the uncle

Speaker:Bonnie Melbourne as Genevieve
Speaker:and Monique Nicole as the maid
Speaker:Come here, Grandfather. Sit under the lamp.
Speaker:It seems to me it is not very light here.
Speaker:Shall we go out on the terrace or shall we stay in the room?
Speaker:Wouldn't it be better to stay here?
Speaker:It has rained all week and the nights are damp and cold.
Speaker:The stars are out, though.
Speaker:I do not know what to think.
Speaker:It is useless to alarm yourself.
Speaker:She cannot hear us.
Speaker:We will not speak loudly enough.
Speaker:The door is very thick and the nun from the convent is with her.
Speaker:She will come out if there is a change in her health.
Speaker:He cannot hear us?
Speaker:No, no.
Speaker:He sleeps?
Speaker:I suppose so.
Speaker:We ought to go and see.
Speaker:He gives me more anxiety than your wife does, the little fellow.
Speaker:It is several weeks since he was born and he has hardly moved.
Speaker:He has not uttered a single cry yet.
Speaker:You would say he was made of wax.
Speaker:I believe that child will never hear and he will never speak.
Speaker:I am almost angry with him for the suffering he has caused his mother.
Speaker:You must be reasonable.
Speaker:It is not the poor little fellow's fault.
Speaker:He is...
Speaker:Is he all alone in that room?
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:The doctor no longer allows him to stay in his mother's room.
Speaker:But the nurse is with him?
Speaker:No.
Speaker:She has gone to rest a moment.
Speaker:She has well earned it these last few days.
Speaker:Girls, go and see if he is asleep.
Speaker:Yes, father.
Speaker:What time did he say he would come?
Speaker:About nine o'clock, I believe.
Speaker:It is after nine.
Speaker:I would have liked him here this evening.
Speaker:It was she who wanted him.
Speaker:He will come.
Speaker:He said he would.
Speaker:He has never been to this house.
Speaker:It is a long way out from the town.
Speaker:You are no longer anxious?
Speaker:Why should we be anxious?
Speaker:There is no need to keep returning to that.
Speaker:There is nothing more to fear.
Speaker:I do not know what ails me.
Speaker:I feel uneasy.
Speaker:I wish the doctor were here.
Speaker:He will come.
Speaker:He promised.
Speaker:I wish this evening were over.
Speaker:He sleeps?
Speaker:Yes, father. Very soundly.
Speaker:Sleeping like an angel.
Speaker:What shall we do?
Speaker:While we are waiting.
Speaker:Waiting for what?
Speaker:Waiting for the doctor.
Speaker:Ursula, go to the door.
Speaker:Do you see anything coming?
Speaker:I will go with her, father.
Speaker:No, father. Nothing.
Speaker:And up our driveway?
Speaker:You can see all the way to the end of it.
Speaker:Yes, father.
Speaker:There is the moon.
Speaker:A little wind in the trees lining it, Ursula.
Speaker:The trees are stirring a little.
Speaker:Starting at the entrance and working its way to the house one tree at a time.
Speaker:It is surprising that he should not be here yet.
Speaker:I do not hear the nightingales any longer, Ursula.
Speaker:I believe someone has come into the garden, grandfather.
Speaker:Who is it?
Speaker:I do not know.
Speaker:I see no one.
Speaker:Because there is no one there.
Speaker:There must be someone in the garden.
Speaker:The nightingales are silent all at once.
Speaker:I hear no footsteps, though.
Speaker:It must be that someone is passing near the pond.
Speaker:The swans are frightened.
Speaker:You see no one?
Speaker:No one, father.
Speaker:But the pond is in the moonlight.
Speaker:Yes, I can see that the swans are frightened.
Speaker:I am sure it is the doctor that frightens them.
Speaker:He must have come in by the little gate.
Speaker:I cannot understand why the dogs do not bark.
Speaker:I see the watchdog at the back of his kennel.
Speaker:The swans are crossing to the other bank.
Speaker:They are afraid of him.
Speaker:I will go and see.
Speaker:Doctor? Doctor? Is that you?
Speaker:There was no one there.
Speaker:I am sure that someone has come into the garden.
Speaker:You will see.
Speaker:But he would answer me.
Speaker:Are the nightingales beginning to sing again, Ursula?
Speaker:I no longer hear a single one in all the fields.
Speaker:And yet we heard nothing frighten them.
Speaker:There is a stillness of death.
Speaker:It must be some stranger that frightens them.
Speaker:If it were one of the household, they would not be silent.
Speaker:There is one on the big weeping willow.
Speaker:It has flown away.
Speaker:Are you going to talk about nightingales all night?
Speaker:Are all the windows open, Ursula?
Speaker:The glass door is open, grandfather.
Speaker:It seems to me.
Speaker:That the cold comes into the room.
Speaker:There is a little wind in the garden, grandfather.
Speaker:And the rose leaves are falling.
Speaker:Well, shut the door, Ursula.
Speaker:It is late.
Speaker:Yes, father.
Speaker:I cannot shut the door, father.
Speaker:I cannot shut it either.
Speaker:Why, children, what is the matter with the door?
Speaker:You need not say that in such an extraordinary voice.
Speaker:I will go and help them.
Speaker:We do not quite manage to close it.
Speaker:It is because of the damp.
Speaker:Let us all push together.
Speaker:There must be something between the leaves.
Speaker:It is no use.
Speaker:Leave it.
Speaker:The carpenter will set it right tomorrow.
Speaker:The carpenter is coming tomorrow?
Speaker:Yes, grandfather.
Speaker:He is coming to work in the cellar.
Speaker:He will make a noise in the house.
Speaker:I will tell him to work quietly.
Speaker:Genevieve, what is that?
Speaker:I do not quite know.
Speaker:I think it is the gardener.
Speaker:I cannot see very well.
Speaker:He is in the shadow of the house.
Speaker:It is the gardener going to mow.
Speaker:He mows by night?
Speaker:It is not tomorrow Sunday.
Speaker:Yes, I noticed that the grass was very high about the house.
Speaker:It seems to me his scythe makes as much noise.
Speaker:He is mowing near the house.
Speaker:Can you see him, Genevieve?
Speaker:No, grandfather. He is in the dark.
Speaker:It seems to me his scythe makes as much noise.
Speaker:That is because you have a very sensitive ear, grandfather.
Speaker:I am afraid he will wake my daughter.
Speaker:We hardly hear him.
Speaker:I hear him as if he were mowing in the house.
Speaker:She will not hear it. There is no danger.
Speaker:It seems to me the lamp is not burning well this evening.
Speaker:It wants filling.
Speaker:I saw it filled this morning.
Speaker:It has burned badly ever since the wind changed.
Speaker:I think the chimney is dim.
Speaker:It will burn better soon.
Speaker:He has not slept for three nights.
Speaker:He has been very worried.
Speaker:He always worries too much.
Speaker:There are times when he will not listen to reason.
Speaker:It is quite excusable at his age.
Speaker:God knows what we shall be like at his age.
Speaker:He is nearly 80 years old.
Speaker:Well then, he has a right to be strange.
Speaker:Perhaps we shall be stranger than he is.
Speaker:One does not know what may happen.
Speaker:He is odd sometimes.
Speaker:He reflects too much.
Speaker:He has too much time to spare.
Speaker:He has nothing else to do.
Speaker:Being blind makes it worse for him.
Speaker:That must be terrible.
Speaker:He seems to be used to it.
Speaker:I cannot imagine it.
Speaker:Not to know where you are.
Speaker:Not to know where you have come from, nor where you are going.
Speaker:No longer to tell midday from midnight, nor...
Speaker:Summer from winter.
Speaker:In always that darkness.
Speaker:That darkness.
Speaker:I would rather not live.
Speaker:Is it absolutely incurable?
Speaker:It appears so.
Speaker:But he is not absolutely blind.
Speaker:He can make out a strong light.
Speaker:Let us take care of our own eyes.
Speaker:He often has strange ideas.
Speaker:There are times when he is not amusing.
Speaker:He says absolutely everything he thinks.
Speaker:But he was not always like this.
Speaker:No, he was as rational as we are.
Speaker:He never said anything extraordinary.
Speaker:It is true that Ursula encourages him a little too much.
Speaker:She answers all his questions.
Speaker:It would be better not to answer.
Speaker:It is a mistaken kindness.
Speaker:Am I facing the glass door?
Speaker:You have had a good sleep, grandfather.
Speaker:Am I facing the glass door?
Speaker:Yes, grandfather.
Speaker:There is no one at the glass door?
Speaker:No, grandfather.
Speaker:I see no one.
Speaker:I thought someone was waiting.
Speaker:No one has come.
Speaker:Genevieve?
Speaker:No one, grandfather.
Speaker:And the doctor has not come.
Speaker:I begin to be anxious.
Speaker:He is here.
Speaker:Do you hear?
Speaker:Yes, someone has come downstairs.
Speaker:It must be him.
Speaker:Who else would come at this hour?
Speaker:I heard slow footsteps.
Speaker:He came in very softly.
Speaker:He knows there is sickness.
Speaker:I hear nothing more now.
Speaker:He will come up immediately.
Speaker:They will tell him we are here.
Speaker:I am glad he has come.
Speaker:I was sure he would come this evening.
Speaker:He is a long time coming up.
Speaker:It must be him.
Speaker:We are not expecting anyone else.
Speaker:I hear no noise downstairs.
Speaker:I will call the maid.
Speaker:We must know what to expect.
Speaker:I hear no noise downstairs.
Speaker:I hear noise on the stairs already.
Speaker:It is the maid coming up.
Speaker:It seems to me she is not alone.
Speaker:It is because the maid makes so much noise.
Speaker:It seems to me she is not alone.
Speaker:She is getting terribly stout.
Speaker:It is time you got rid of her or you will have her on your hands.
Speaker:I hear his step.
Speaker:I hear the doctor's step.
Speaker:I hear no one but the maid.
Speaker:It is him.
Speaker:It is him.
Speaker:Someone is knocking at the door of the private stairway.
Speaker:I will open it myself.
Speaker:That door makes too much noise.
Speaker:I will not open it far.
Speaker:It will wake her.
Speaker:It is only used when we want to come up without being seen.
Speaker:Where are you?
Speaker:Here, sir.
Speaker:He is at the door.
Speaker:He is at the door.
Speaker:I see no one but the maid standing in the open.
Speaker:There is no one there but the maid.
Speaker:Who was it who came into the house?
Speaker:Came into the house, sir.
Speaker:Yes, someone came in just now.
Speaker:No one came, sir.
Speaker:Who is it?
Speaker:Say, sir.
Speaker:It is the maid. She is out of breath.
Speaker:Is she crying?
Speaker:Why no? Why would she be crying?
Speaker:No one came in just now?
Speaker:No, sir.
Speaker:But we heard the door open.
Speaker:It was me shutting the door, sir.
Speaker:It was open.
Speaker:Yes, sir.
Speaker:Why was it open at this hour?
Speaker:I do not know, sir.
Speaker:I had shut it.
Speaker:Then who was it opened it?
Speaker:I do not know, sir.
Speaker:Someone must have gone out after me.
Speaker:You must be careful.
Speaker:Do not push the door.
Speaker:You know what a noise it makes.
Speaker:But I am not touching the door, sir.
Speaker:But you are.
Speaker:You push as if you were trying to get into the room.
Speaker:I am three steps away from the door, sir.
Speaker:Don't talk quite so loudly.
Speaker:Are you putting out the light?
Speaker:No, grandfather.
Speaker:It seems to me it is dark all at once.
Speaker:You may go down now.
Speaker:But do not make so much noise on the stairs.
Speaker:I did not make any noise on the stairs, sir.
Speaker:I tell you, you made a noise.
Speaker:Go down softly.
Speaker:You will wake your mistress.
Speaker:It was not me who made a noise, sir.
Speaker:And if anyone comes now, say that we are not at home.
Speaker:And if anyone comes now, say that we are not at home.
Speaker:Yes, say that we are not at home.
Speaker:You must not say that.
Speaker:You must not say that.
Speaker:Except to the doctor.
Speaker:Except to the doctor.
Speaker:When will he come?
Speaker:He will not come before midnight now.
Speaker:He has the whole valley to cross.
Speaker:He has the whole valley to cross.
Speaker:She has come in.
Speaker:Who?
Speaker:The maid.
Speaker:I know. She has gone downstairs.
Speaker:I thought she was sitting at the table.
Speaker:I thought she was sitting at the table.
Speaker:The maid?
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:No, it is just us.
Speaker:No one has come into the room?
Speaker:Why, no.
Speaker:No one has come in.
Speaker:And the doctor is not here?
Speaker:The doctor has not come.
Speaker:Where have your thoughts wandered?
Speaker:You want to deceive me.
Speaker:Deceive you?
Speaker:Ursula, tell me the truth for the love of God.
Speaker:Ursula, tell me the truth for the love of God.
Speaker:Ursula, tell me the truth for the love of God.
Speaker:Grandfather, what is the matter with you?
Speaker:Something has happened.
Speaker:I am sure my daughter is worse.
Speaker:Oh, come on now.
Speaker:There is no way you can know that.
Speaker:You do not want to tell me.
Speaker:I see plainly there is something.
Speaker:I see plainly there is something.
Speaker:In that case, you see better than we do.
Speaker:Ursula, tell me the truth.
Speaker:Ursula, tell me the truth.
Speaker:But we are telling you the truth, grandfather.
Speaker:But we are telling you the truth, grandfather.
Speaker:You are not speaking in your natural voice.
Speaker:That is because you frighten her.
Speaker:That is because you frighten her.
Speaker:Your voice has changed. Yours too.
Speaker:But you are going mad.
Speaker:I hear plainly that you are afraid.
Speaker:I hear plainly that you are afraid.
Speaker:But what should we be afraid of?
Speaker:Why do you want to deceive me?
Speaker:Who thinks of deceiving you?
Speaker:Why have you put out the light?
Speaker:Why have you put out the light?
Speaker:But the light has not been put out.
Speaker:It is as light as before.
Speaker:It seems to me that the lamp has gone down.
Speaker:I see as well as usual.
Speaker:I have millstones on my eyes.
Speaker:I have millstones on my eyes.
Speaker:Children, tell me what is happening here.
Speaker:Children, tell me what is happening here.
Speaker:For the love of god, you can see.
Speaker:For the love of god, you can see.
Speaker:I am here alone.
Speaker:In darkness without end.
Speaker:I do not know who sits beside me.
Speaker:I do not know who sits beside me.
Speaker:I do not know what is happening a step from me.
Speaker:Why are you speaking?
Speaker:Such a low voice just now.
Speaker:No one spoke in a low voice.
Speaker:You spoke in a low voice at the door.
Speaker:You heard all I said.
Speaker:You have brought someone into the room.
Speaker:But I tell you, no one has come in.
Speaker:Is it the doctor or a priest?
Speaker:You must not try to deceive me.
Speaker:Ursula, who was it that came in?
Speaker:No one, Grandfather.
Speaker:You must not try to deceive me.
Speaker:I know what I know.
Speaker:How many are we here?
Speaker:There are five of us about the table, Grandfather.
Speaker:You are all about the table?
Speaker:Yes, Grandfather.
Speaker:You are there, Paul?
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:You are there, Oliver?
Speaker:Yes, yes, I'm here, in my usual place.
Speaker:You're not serious, are you?
Speaker:You are there, Genevieve?
Speaker:Yes, Grandfather.
Speaker:You are here, Ursula?
Speaker:Yes, Grandfather, by your side.
Speaker:And who was that sitting there?
Speaker:Where do you mean, Grandfather? There is no one.
Speaker:There, there, in the midst of us.
Speaker:But there is no one, Grandfather.
Speaker:We tell you, there is no one.
Speaker:But you do not see any of you.
Speaker:Oh, come on now, you're joking.
Speaker:I have no wish to joke, I can assure you.
Speaker:Then believe those that can see?
Speaker:I thought there was someone.
Speaker:I believe I shall not live much longer.
Speaker:Why should we go to work to deceive?
Speaker:What good would that do?
Speaker:We ought clearly to tell you the truth.
Speaker:What good would it do to deceive each other?
Speaker:You could not live long without finding it out.
Speaker:I wish I were at home.
Speaker:But you are at home here.
Speaker:Are we not at home?
Speaker:Are you among strangers?
Speaker:You are strange this evening.
Speaker:It is you who seems strange to me.
Speaker:Do you want anything?
Speaker:I do not know.
Speaker:I do not know.
Speaker:I do not know.
Speaker:I do not know what hails me.
Speaker:Will you take anything?
Speaker:Grandfather, what do you want?
Speaker:Give me your little hands, my children.
Speaker:Yes, Grandfather.
Speaker:Yes, Grandfather.
Speaker:Why are you both trembling, my children?
Speaker:We are hardly trembling at all, Grandfather.
Speaker:I believe you are both pale.
Speaker:It is late, Grandfather, and we are tired.
Speaker:You must go to bed, and Grandfather would do better
Speaker:to take a little rest.
Speaker:You must go to bed, and Grandfather would do better to take a little rest.
Speaker:I could not sleep tonight.
Speaker:We'll wait for the doctor.
Speaker:Prepare me for the truth.
Speaker:But there is no truth.
Speaker:Then I do not know what there is.
Speaker:I'm telling you, there's nothing at all.
Speaker:I would like to see my poor daughter.
Speaker:But you know very well that is impossible.
Speaker:She must not be waken needlessly.
Speaker:You'll see her tomorrow.
Speaker:No.
Speaker:We hear no sound.
Speaker:There is no sound in her room.
Speaker:I should be uneasy if I heard any sound.
Speaker:It is very long since I saw my daughter.
Speaker:I took her hands yesterday evening, but I could not see her.
Speaker:I no longer know what she is becoming.
Speaker:I no longer know how she is.
Speaker:I am no longer familiar with her face.
Speaker:She must have changed.
Speaker:She has changed in these weeks.
Speaker:I felt the little bones of her cheeks under my hands.
Speaker:There is nothing but the darkness between her and me.
Speaker:And all of you, this is not life.
Speaker:This is not living.
Speaker:You sit there, all of you, with open eyes, that look into my dead eyes.
Speaker:And not one of you has pity.
Speaker:I do not know.
Speaker:I do not know.
Speaker:What ails me.
Speaker:But no one tells me or ought to be told to me.
Speaker:And everything is terrifying when you dream of it.
Speaker:But why do you not speak?
Speaker:What would you have us say, since you will not believe us?
Speaker:What would you have us say, since you will not believe us?
Speaker:You are afraid of betraying yourselves.
Speaker:Do be reasonable, now.
Speaker:For a long time, something has been hidden for me here.
Speaker:Something has happened in the house, but I begin to understand now.
Speaker:I have been deceived too long.
Speaker:You think then that I shall never find out anything.
Speaker:There are moments when I am less blind than you, you know.
Speaker:I have not heard you whispering for days and days as if you were in the house of someone who had hanged himself.
Speaker:I dare not say what I know this evening, but I will know the truth.
Speaker:I shall wait for you to tell me the truth.
Speaker:But I have known it for a long time, in spite of you.
Speaker:And now I feel that you are all as pale as the dead.
Speaker:Grandfather.
Speaker:Grandfather, what is the matter?
Speaker:It is not of you that I speak, my children.
Speaker:No.
Speaker:It is not of you that I speak.
Speaker:I know quite well you would tell me the truth if they were not by.
Speaker:And besides, I am sure they are deceiving you also.
Speaker:You will see, children.
Speaker:You will see.
Speaker:Are you both crying?
Speaker:For my part, I will not stay here.
Speaker:Is my wife really so ill?
Speaker:You need not try to deceive.
Speaker:Do not listen to him.
Speaker:How can a un difícil hombre, of whom you are so
Speaker:Would you like to go into your daughter's room?
Speaker:There is a mistake here, and a misunderstanding that should end.
Speaker:Would you?
Speaker:No.
Speaker:No.
Speaker:Not now.
Speaker:Not yet.
Speaker:You see?
Speaker:You are not reasonable.
Speaker:One never knows all that a man has been able to say in his life.
Speaker:One never knows all that a man has been able to say in his life.
Speaker:Who was it that made that noise?
Speaker:It is the flickering of the lamp, grandfather
Speaker:It seems to me it is very unsteady
Speaker:Very unsteady
Speaker:It is the cold wind that vexes it
Speaker:I think it is going out
Speaker:The oil must be out
Speaker:It has gone entirely out
Speaker:We cannot stay like this in the dark
Speaker:Why not? I am already accustomed to it
Speaker:There is a light in my wife's room
Speaker:We will take it by and by when the doctor has come
Speaker:It is true, we see well enough
Speaker:There is light from the outside
Speaker:Is it light outside?
Speaker:Lighter than here
Speaker:For my part, I would assume talk in the dark
Speaker:So would I
Speaker:It seems to me the clock makes such a noise
Speaker:That is because we are not speaking now, grandfather
Speaker:But why?
Speaker:Why are you all silent?
Speaker:Of what would you have us speak?
Speaker:You are not in earnest tonight
Speaker:Is it very dark in the room?
Speaker:It is not very light
Speaker:I do not feel well, Ursula
Speaker:Go to the door and tell me what you hear
Speaker:Yes, daughter, go and see
Speaker:I begin to feel the want of air myself
Speaker:I positively believe we have been sitting here too long
Speaker:Is the door still open, Ursula?
Speaker:Yes, grandfather, wide open
Speaker:One would not have said it was open
Speaker:There is not a sound outside
Speaker:No, grandfather
Speaker:There is not the least sound
Speaker:The silence is extraordinary
Speaker:One could hear an angel's step
Speaker:That is the reason I do not like this country
Speaker:I wish I could hear some sound
Speaker:What time is it, Ursula?
Speaker:Almost midnight, grandfather
Speaker:Who is walking around like that?
Speaker:It is I!
Speaker:It is I!
Speaker:Do not be frightened
Speaker:I feel the need of walking a little
Speaker:But I am going to sit down again
Speaker:I do not see where I am going
Speaker:I wish I was somewhere else
Speaker:Where would you like to go, grandfather?
Speaker:I do not know where
Speaker:Into another room
Speaker:No matter where
Speaker:No matter where
Speaker:Where should we go?
Speaker:It is too late to go anywhere else
Speaker:What is that I hear, Genevieve?
Speaker:Nothing, grandfather
Speaker:It is the leaves falling
Speaker:Yes, it is the leaves falling on the terrace
Speaker:Come back
Speaker:Come back and sit down, Ursula
Speaker:Yes, grandfather
Speaker:I am cool
Speaker:What is it I hear now?
Speaker:It is only the girls
Speaker:They have moved their chairs together
Speaker:It seems to me they are
Speaker:Very pale this evening
Speaker:What is it I hear now?
Speaker:Ursula
Speaker:Nothing, grandfather
Speaker:It is the clasping of my hands
Speaker:What is it I hear?
Speaker:What is it I hear, Ursula?
Speaker:I do not know, grandfather
Speaker:Perhaps my sister?
Speaker:She is trembling a little
Speaker:I am afraid too, my children
Speaker:Who is it that rose?
Speaker:No one rose
Speaker:I did not rise
Speaker:Nor I
Speaker:Nor I
Speaker:Someone rose
Speaker:Someone rose
Speaker:Someone rose
Speaker:Someone rose from the table
Speaker:Listen, the child
Speaker:He has never cried before
Speaker:Let us go and look
Speaker:The lamp
Speaker:The lamp
Speaker:Oh, the nun
Speaker:Where are you going?
Speaker:Where are you going?
Speaker:Where are you going?
Speaker:My children
Speaker:My children
Speaker:My children
Speaker:My children
Speaker:They have left me all alone
Speaker:My children
Speaker:Breathing
