Abstract
The first French plays of any importance to take the Algerian war as their central concern were by the Algerian playwright, Kateb Yacine.' His trilogy Le Cercle des represailles (The Circle of Reprisals) was published in 1959.2 The first play of this trilogy, Le Cadavre encercld (The Encircled Corpse) (1955), was produced by Jean-Marie Serreau in 1958, while the war was still going on. At that time no French theatre would touch a play presenting the conflict from the Algerian perspective, and so he had to go to the Th atre Moliere in Brussels.3
