Synopsis
Notorious for its scatological references, this controversial drama caused outrage when it first appeared on stage in 1896. The farce turns its satire on the successful bourgeois, exposing how authority can be abused and complacency can take hold.
Often championed as the first absurdist drama, it centres on a main character portrayed as cruel, gluttonous and grotesque. A focused choice for readers interested in drama and theatre.
