Original Playwright - Arthur Adamov (Les Ames Mortes, based on the novel by Nikolai Gogol)
Synopsis:
Dead Souls is Adamov's dramatisation of Gogol's blackly comic novel. Mysterious entrepreneur Tchitchikov approaches the landowners and bureaucrats of a provincial town with the proposal that he will buy the 'dead souls' of deceased peasants, and in the process exposes a society filled with paranoia and corruption.

Original Playwright - Arthur Adamov (Le Printemps 71)
Synopsis:
Motivated in part by his own communist sympathies, Spring 71 reflects Adamov's view of the Paris Commune in 1871. A rich and complex depiction of a city in the throes of major upheaval, it interweaves satire, history and tragedy to show how the stories of normal people influence - and are influenced by - the onward march of history.
