TFP NOTES

The original play has not been translated, rather the structure of the play has been taken. The sequences, dialogues and characters have been newly created to make them fit in the curves of acceptance of the spectators in the main field of its performance.

The performance of this play comes not to be of the one written by Jean Genet.
