By chance, John and Jean - one British, the other French - meet in a provincial railway station. Their resemblance to the other person is uncanny, plus they spend another few hours chatting and drinking - until finally John falls into a drunken stupor. It's to be his last carefree minute, for when he wakes, Jean has stolen his identification and disappeared. So the Englishman steps in to the Frenchman's shoes, and encounters a variety of perplexing roles - as owner of your chateau, director of your failing business, head of your fractious family, and professional of nothing. Gripping and complex, The Scapegoat is a masterful exploration of doubling and identification, and of the dark part of the do it yourself.
