The Plague: adapted by Neil Bartlett from La Peste by Albert Camus

Organized by The Lantern Theater Company 
 

Infection, quarantine, panic, and closed borders are invoked in this sharp adaptation of Camus' masterful novel La Peste, originally written following World War II to serve as a political warning to future generations about fascism. Bartlett's compelling drama is all the more startling for how contemporary and timeless the action plays out on the stage: "How would I react if the plague came for me?"

This American premiere production was filmed at St. Stephen's Theater in Center City Philadelphia in July 2021. 

​

Tickets:

 $20 per household

$35 for a digital fall pass
