'The most versatile and fluent of mid-twentieth-century French writers' - The Times. These three plays are among Sartre's finest: dramas of intelligence that deal with moral conflicts and man's arrogance and stupidity. Kean is a study of insincerity and illusion in the life of a self-destructive celebrated actor. Nekrassov is Sartre's funniest play, a comedy of mistaken identity and a fierce satire on anti-communist propaganda that scored points against the press and irritated many of Sartre's detractors. The Trojan Women, which presents his interpretation of Euripides' play in which Hecuba mourns the fall of Troy, is a condemnation of the futility of war in general. This title includes Kean, Nekrassov, and The Trojan Women.
