Patrick Hamilton Hangover Square

Patrick Hamilton

(3.2 étoiles; 2 critiques)

Hangover Square is a dramatization of Patrick Hamilton's novel set in pre-war Earls Court. The story follows George Harvey Bone, who is obsessed with Netta, a bit-part actress and the pace-setter of a fast-living crowd. As everyone frantically pursues a good time, George finds himself battling with his own inner demons.

Written during the shadow of the approaching Second World War, the novel captures the essence of a society unable to halt its descent into chaos. It delves into George's struggles, particularly during his 'dead' moods, where he feels like an automaton moving through life without purpose.
