This collection brings together three representative works by French-Algerian dramatist Emmanuel Roblès, an overlooked figure in English-language theatre despite his acclaim across Europe and membership in the prestigious Goncourt Academy. The volume spans his full range—from the tragic Case for a Rebel to the comic The Clock and the farcical Porfirio—each exploring oppression in different forms. Roblès's theatre reflects his core conviction: a profound commitment to humanity and an unrelenting stance against injustice, making these plays as relevant to readers and drama students today as when written.
