Un publiciste adultère fusillé pour avoir déserté, une jeune bourgeoise qui a noyé son enfant et poussé son amant au suicide, une employée des postes lesbienne qui a peut-être une mort sur la conscience : les trois se retrouvent en Enfer. Contrairement à ce qu’ils croyaient, l’Enfer n’est pas une chambre de torture mais un salon Second Empire où ils vont – éternellement – s’épier, se provoquer, tenter de se séduire et surtout se déchirer. On l’aura compris : « L’Enfer, c’est les Autres. » Créé en 1944, Huis clos illustre une réflexion philosophique menée par Sartre un an plus tôt dans L’Être et le Néant, en particulier sur le « regard de l’autre » qui me constitue en « esclave » vis-à-vis de lui. À ce titre, la pièce s’inscrit dans la tradition, vivace jusqu’après la guerre, du « théâtre d’idées ». Mais, en interrogeant le sens même de l’existence par des dialogues de tous les jours, dans un décor bourgeois qui figure un univers irréel, elle annonce aussi le « théâtre de l’absurde » qui triomphera dans les années 1950. Comédie de boulevard à portée métaphysique, elle doit à cette vocation paradoxale d’être aujourd’hui encore, en France et à l’étranger, l’un des plus grands succès du théâtre français contemporain.

Two women and one man are locked up together for eternity in one hideous room in Hell. The windows are bricked up, there are no mirrors, the electric lights can never be turned off, and there is no exit. The irony of this Hell is that its torture is not of the rack and fire, but of the burning humiliation of each soul as it is stripped of its pretenses by the cruel curiosity of the damned. Here the soul is shorn of secrecy, and even the blackest deeds are mercilessly exposed to the fierce light of Hell. It is an eternal torment.

One of the first books to apply contemporary linguistic and semiotic research to drama, Discourse as Performance is an investigation into theatrical discourse - the specifically theatrical use of language in the broadest sense, from verbal utterance to non verbal uses comprising the visual elements of gesture, facial expression, movement, costume, players' bodies, properties, and decor. The book is in three parts. In the first part, the author deals with theatrical discourse proper and distinguishes between its two main modes: dialogue and stage directions. Both modes address the problem of the specificity of theatrical discourse in contrast to other types of discourse, both literary and non-literary. The dialogue raises the questions of who speaks in a play (author, characters, actors) and to whom; the stage directions raise the question of reading a play, as opposed to seeing it performed onstage. The author links these issues to speech act theory and intertextuality.
