The Screens is a 1961 play by the French dramatist Jean Genet. The play's controversial theme of French colonialism, at a time of unrest in French colonial Algeria, caused riots when the work was first staged in Paris in 1966. The work is presented in a stylised, non-narrative form of short individual episodes, linked by the character Saïd, an outcast from society who betrays the rebels.Wikipedia →
