Reassessing the Theatre of the Absurd : Camus, Beckett, Ionesco, Genet, and Pinter

Omtale

Fifty years after the publication of Martin Esslin's The Theatre of the Absurd , which suggests that 'absurd' plays purport the meaninglessness of life, this book uses the works of five major playwrights of the 1950s to provide a timely reassessment of one of the most important theatre 'movements' of the 20th century.
