Kean (Playscripts)
This play by Sartre is very funny. No, really, it is! Here's a bit from near the beginning, if you're not convinced. The two society ladies are discussing what an amazing actor Kean is."I saw him the other day in Hamlet," sighs one of them. "When he shouted 'A rat!' I jumped on my seat!"
Oh, wait... I just checked on Google, and it turns out that Sartre adapted the text from an original play by Alexandre Dumas. Do you know, I read it 35 years ago, but somehow this fact had escaped me until now.
Well, I suppose that explains it. Damn!
