Description: First published in 1947, The Plague was an immediate best-seller, striking a powerful chord with readers who were struggling to understand the fascist 'plague' that had just overwhelmed Europe. Seventy years later, author and director Neil Bartlett has adapted Camus' classic for our own dangerous times.
Brief description: Neil Bartlett's plays, and his adaptations of Dickens, Wilde, Racine, Moliere and Marivaux, have been performed in the Lyric Hammersmith, the Glasgow Citizens, the Bristol Old Vic, the Manchester Royal Exchange and the National theatre.
