The Devil on All Sides and Other Plays

These are the first English language translations published in America of the works of Fabrice Melquiot, one of the most imaginative, prolific, and influential French playwrights working today. We are thrilled to introduce you to this unique voice in world theater with this volume containing works for both adults and youth. “The Devil on All Sides” is a stunning work about the ravages of war in ex-Yugoslavia. Full of love, sadness, and humor, the French Drama Syndicate awarded it “Best French Language Play of the Year” in 2001. “The Unheard of World” and “Albatross” are both plays for “all ages,” fantastical tales of love, loss, and discovery. All are rich with immense theatrical possibilities. Translated from the French by Ben Yalom and Michelle Haner.
