Last Day is a journey through the second part of William Faulkner’s novel The Sound and the Fury.
It’s the story of Quentin, one of the three Compson brothers, who is in love with his sister Caddy and cannot bear the thought of her being with someone else. He decides to end it all, living out his final day to the relentless ticking of his broken watch — a day where the color of the water seems gray, like the stones, and where the scent of honeysuckle rises from the past, the saddest of all scents...
This kind of writing lends itself perfectly to the instinctive, sharp-edged performance of Nicolas Lafourest — precise, yet allowing for blur — a performance that carries and clothes the text in such a way that the duo becomes something greater, something whole... something that might let us brush, ever so lightly, against the Deep South — or at least what we imagine it to be.
A story of that time that is here, that will be, and that is already no more — so dear to William Faulkner.
