Über den Autor

Michel Vinaver was born in 1927. For nearly 30 years he was an executive with Gilette International and this inside experience of the workings of a multinational corporation has provided material for many of his plays. In the 1950s he was labelled a political dramatist, especially after his play The Koreans provoked right-wing demonstrations and was subject to government censorship. In the 1960s he suffered from prolonged writer's block but overcame it with the writing of Overboard (1969). Since then he has written many more plays and is known as the leading 'dramatist of the everyday'. His work has been produced by every leading director from Vitez to Lassalle; he was the first chairman of the Theatre Commission of the Centre National des Lettres, and is generally acknowledged as France's major living dramatist.
