“The Collector” – play after John Fowles, Südalinna Theatre

Attention: “The Collector” is staged in the small hall of Südalinn Theatre.

Frederick Clegg lives alone, works at an employment centre and collects butterflies. He secretly watches Miranda, an art college student, without daring to speak to her. Unexpectedly he wins a large sum in a lottery, buys an isolated house outside town, kidnaps Miranda and keeps her in the cellar, hoping that one day she will love him.
