A Supplement to the Journals of Captain Cook

Adapted from one of Jean Giraudou'x most anarchic plays, Supplement tells the story of a British minister/taxidermist who has been sent to the island of Tahiti by Cook in order to teach the natives the three tenets of "civilization" ("Work " "Property " "Morality ") before allowing his sailors to mingle with the Polynesians. However, the minister - and his wife - discover that Tahiti holds far more temptations than perhaps even the British can handle.At once strident and comedic and thought-provoking, Supplement is a classic culture clash, but one as only as the fantastical world of Giraudoux can provide.
