A play enters the repertoire — L'homme qui mourut poli

The Library welcomes its first play: L’homme qui mourut poli — “The Man Who Died Polite” — a comedy in five acts. Lazare died sixteen months ago — no illness, just politeness. This is the story of his resurrection, and like all true resurrections, it begins with the burial.

An open door no one walks through, a stopped clock, bottles never opened, and a forty-seven-year-old keeper called LE PETIT. The play unfolds in three excerpts on its page — and reads in full as a PDF, or as an EPUB for your e-reader.
