In this fascinating play Albert Camus dives beneath the surface of a real historical event – the assassination of Russian Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich in 1905 – to consider the use and the limits of political violence. What sets the piece apart is the way Camus takes us into the hearts and minds of the would-be assassins at all stages of the action. We are with them as they plan the attack and debate its justification. We are there when they execute it, and finally we witness the aftermath.
