Camus' sparse parable about the human condition is one of the great
stories of the 20th Century, here adapted for the stage by Booker
prize winner Ben Okri. A faceless man who can no longer pretend,
Mersault commits a senseless murder under the glare of the Algerian
sun. On trial he feels distanced from proceedings, he is castigated
for not expressing remorse, for not crying at his mother's funeral,
and is forced to confront the hypocrisy and injustice of society. In
an age where we are being increasingly told what to feel, The
Outsider is a blast of uncompromising honesty. Albert Camus, French
novelist, essayist, philosopher and Nobel laureate, was one of the
most influential thinkers of the 20th Century. Ben Okri, author of The
Famished Road, is one of contemporary literature's most important
writers. This adaption brings them together for a rare dramatisation
of one of modern literature's most celebrated works.
