Description
Two masterpieces by Albert Camus—his novel “The Plague” and the play “The Misunderstanding”—are united by themes of freedom and choice, of a person’s realization of their own powerlessness in the face of cruel fate.
A cold chronicle of a plague epidemic in a resort town in Algeria turns into a tragic and terrifying parable about a deadly danger that awakens in the human soul either the best—or the worst. And everyone faces a choice: to fight for life, to seek an escape, or to submit to the plague and inevitable death.
The drama “The Misunderstanding” is written in full accordance with Aristotle’s laws of “ideal tragedy.” What will a person do for money? And can they find a foothold—true meaning of life—in a world full of mutual misunderstanding and alienation?
