Theatres of War is the first full-length study to be devoted to the
'Committed' theatre that flourished in modern France from 1944 to
the mid-1950s. During this crucial decade, authors such as Sartre,
de Beauvoir and Camus, along with other lesser-known dramatists,
responded to the issues of their time by contributing a number of
tense controversial plays to a distinctive genre of realist
theatre. These plays dealt with the ideological, political and
moral issues arising from the Second World War, the Cold War and a
series of disastrous colonial wars. Theatres of War combines
historical contextualisation, pointing up the political and moral
debate of the theatre of the period, with detailed analysis of
specific plays, making it a useful student text. All quotations are
in French with English translations immediately following.
