Dramatised in two parts by Guy Meredith from the trial notes of the 16th-century French judge Jean de Coras. Part One: Martin Guerre, an inhabitant of the Pyrenean village of Artigat, is charged with being an impostor when he returns after an eight-year absence. But his trial leaves many questions unanswered. Part Two: Martin Guerre's wife Bertrande accepts him on his return after an eight-year absence, bears him two further children and then accuses him of being an impostor. |
