French Society: L’Étranger Play

The French Society attended the first ever adaption on stage of Albert Camus’ existentialist masterpiece, by Booker Prize-winning author Ben Okri. Camus, a Nobel laureate, was a French philosopher and novelist. He is considered as one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th Century. Ben Okri ‘s play represents “a dramatization of one of modern literature’s most celebrated works.”  The ensuing debate and analysis of the play promises to be riveting at the next meeting of the Society.
