THE MADMAN AND THE NUN
Written in 1923, The Madman and The Nun is dedicated to “all the madmen in the world” and explores the tyranny of society over the individual as well as the boundaries of sanity. Sound familiar? The play can be seen as an absurdist comedy in which science, religion, and the state form a totalitarian alliance to bring about enforced happiness and social tranquility by means of psychiatric confinement.
