The Confessional
Set in the Cote d'Azur, teenager Andre struggles to cope, as he sees his parents' marriage unravel.
THE OTHER SIMENON - SERIES 3
The Confessional
by Georges Simenon, dramatised for radio by Ronald Frame
The third in our series of new dramatisations by Ronald Frame of stories by Georges Simenon.
When he wasn't writing Maigret, Georges Simenon produced a huge body of novels, often tough, gripping and psychologically-penetrating dissections of lives confounded by fate.
The Confessional centres on teenager Andre Bar. By rights he should be happy and contented. He has doting parents, he lives in the opulent setting of the Cote d'Azur, he has no troubles in school, and he has a sympathetic girlfriend, Francine. But all is by no means well. His parents dislike each other intensely and he is in the force-field of their tensions, battling to preserve his integrity and sanity.
