Abstract
An analysis of the three-act tragedy published in 1962 by the French playwright Jean Geschwin; drawing from an original recreation of the Procne and Philomela myth, the play expresses the worries and unease caused by decades of ongoing, blood-drenched war conflicts which were then tearing France apart.Downloads
