Howlround: “Camus died in a car accident in January 1960, eleven months before Theatre Arts published his essay Why I Work in the Theater… The essay reads much like his philosophical treatises – in turns amusing and thoughtful, and occasionally narcissistic. Throughout it he describes the qualities of theatermaking that continuously drew him to the theater despite having greater successes as an essayist and novelist.”
