Heel innemend toneelstuk met bijzondere personnages. Verrassend einde waar ik helaas al van wist, zeker een aanrader!

I read this years ago and thought that I would revisit it. It's as good and weird as I remembered, definitely an interesting read.

Loved the prose, nice representation of the natural antagonism between a worker and their employer, beautiful use of role play.

In his forward, Genet clarifies that the play is not about worker rights or politics but i don’t much care about the apolitical.

Écriture serrée, punchée, fidèle à l'agilité infinie de Genet.
