Three Plays: The Fire Raisers; Andorra; Triptych

3.9/5 ( ratings)

Three contentious and enduring plays about the clash of the individual and society

Fire Raisers tells the tale of a respectable bourgeois whose house is one day visited by three strangers. It "is successful on every level; the story is as gripping as an adventure story; each line is fraught with several meanings: as an allegory it is unique" ; Andorra is based on the author's own experience of anti-semitism in Switzerland and is about Andri, a young man who is believed to be a Jew and who is persecuted by his community as a result; Triptych is a portrait of a writer grappling with his own mortality.

The flexible and contemporary translations by Michael Bullock and Geoffrey Skelton are here complemented by an introduction by Peter Loeffler.
