Notes: 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.
