{"product_id":"the-screens-9780802151582","title":"The Screens","description":"Jean Genet was one of the world's greatest contemporary dramatists, and his last play, The Screens, is his crowning achievement. It strikes a powerful, closing chord to the formidable theatrical work that began with Deathwatch and continued, with even bolder variations, in The Maids, The Balcony, and The Blacks. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExplicitly political, The Screens is set within the context of the Algerian War. The play's cast of over fifty characters moves through seventeen scenes, the world of the living breaching the world of the dead by means of shifting the screens--the only scenery--in a brilliant tour de force of spectacle and drama.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Genet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Genet, Jean\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.15h x 5.34w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802151582","brand":"Grove Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42706434982025,"sku":"9780802151582","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_d5f882bd-a167-41b6-9fe9-80935d3e2c33.jpg?v=1719456879","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-screens-9780802151582","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
