Of Sartre's major works for the theatre, 'The Assassin' (originally titled 'Crime Passionnel' in translation) remains his masterpiece. Set in 1943 in the imaginary European state of Illyria, contending against both German and Soviet troops, the play centres round a young communist's involvement in the Party's assassination plot against the life of a leading statesman and develops into a challenging political thriller.
