Plot Summary
What happens when radical ideas about freedom and responsibility collide with the messy, contradictory realities of human desire?
Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir built a philosophy that electrified a generation. But their own lives were complicated by a web of intellectual and romantic entanglements that often stood in stark contrast to their public principles. This comedy is based on the true story of the most challenging of those relationships: their involvement with two brilliant and vulnerable young students, the sisters Olga and Wanda Kosakiewicz.
Opening this August in Theater for the New City's 2025 Dream Up Festival for a limited run of seven performances in New York City before the show moves to Paris.
