Description: "Jean Genet's The Screens, hailed by many to be Genet's masterpiece, was staged in Paris in 1966 by the Jean-Louis Barrault-Madeleine Renaud Company. During the several months of rehearsals which Genet attended, he wrote a series of letters and notes to Roger Blin giving his views on every aspect of the staging of The Screens. His comments deal with the details of that play and that production, but also transcend them. What the book adds up to is a precise and fascinating compilation of Jean Genet's concept of the theater."--Page 4 of cover.
