This collection features three masterful plays that broke new ground in French theatre. The Prince d'Aurec is a biting satire of the aristocracy, while The Pardon uses a family's tragedy to explore themes of guilt and forgiveness. The Other Danger is a suspenseful thriller that delves into the darker side of human nature. All three plays are translated into English and offer a glimpse into the vibrant theatrical scene of early 20th-century France.
