Publisher's summary

Quarantine is an adaptation for the theater by E. Thomalen of Albert Camus' The Plague translated by Stuart Gilbert. It is a play in four acts and begins with the observation of rats dying, ending with "freedom" because of the lifting of the quarantine.

Not everyone finds freedom to his liking. The characters capture the angst, boredom, grief, heroism, spiritual questioning, villainy, courage and longing brought on by the quarantine and the plague. There are surprising deaths and surprising survivors. One cannot help but come away with a profound insight into both man and his society.

A classic and oh, so timely now

Camus’ classic is brought to life in this adaptation. As we experience life in the midst of a pandemic, Quarantine tells the story of the bubonic plague; how government, the church, the physicians, and ordinary citizens coped (and didn’t) when their town was locked down. The reading is dramatic and compelling and is a good match to the skills of the author.

A book for our time of COVID-19

Have previously read this book & must say the excellent narration made this more realistic and interesting!
