Résumé

"The Mysterious Mother" by Horace Walpole is a gripping and controversial play that delves into themes of incest, guilt, and the supernatural. Set in a dark and atmospheric castle, the play follows the tragic story of Countess Matilda, who finds herself caught in a web of deceit and forbidden desire. At the heart of the drama is Matilda's complex relationship with her son, Adelbert, whose return to the castle reignites long-buried emotions and secrets.
As their forbidden passion grows, Matilda and Adelbert struggle to reconcile their feelings with the societal taboos that surround them, leading to a series of shocking revelations and devastating consequences. Walpole's masterful storytelling and vivid imagery create a sense of unease and suspense that permeates every scene of the play. Through its exploration of taboo subjects and moral ambiguity, "The Mysterious Mother" challenges audiences to confront their own preconceptions about love, family, and morality.
