Description: |
Hugo, a young Communist Party member, is assigned the task of working for a "deviationist" Party leader, and shooting him. But has he camouflaged a political assassination as a "crime passionel"? On his release from prison, he tries to explain to a former comrade exactly what his motives were. |
Synopsis: |
"A highly entertaining political political thriller...the play shows where that peculiarly Gallic combinations of sex, politics and suspense has its origins" (Michael Billington, Guardian) Crime Passionnel reflects Sartre's fascination with the mentality and morality of Communism in its story of a young Party member assigned to shoot a "deviationist". It was first staged in 1948. |
