One, Polydor, is a middle-class intellectual and political refugee. The other, Pyram, is a lower-class labourer. For the sake of saving money, the two have been sharing the apartment for three years. While Pyram is away working, Polydor apparently does nothing but read books on political theory. His source of funds remains a mystery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith recent productions in Canada and the United States, the publication of this play in English will provide a new generation of audiences access to this important text.
