Jean Genet was one of the world's greatest contemporary dramatists,
and his last play, The Screens, is his crowning achievement. It
strikes a powerful, closing chord to the formidable theatrical work
that began with Deathwatch and continued, with even bolder
variations, in The Maids, The Balcony, and The Blacks.
Explicitly political, The Screens is set within the context of the
Algerian War. The play's cast of over fifty characters moves
through seventeen scenes, the world of the living breaching the
world of the dead by means of shifting the screens--the only
scenery--in a brilliant tour de force of spectacle and drama.
