Summary "Les Voyous au Théâtre (Histoire de deux pièces)" by Oscar Méténier is a collection of theatrical critiques and reflections written in the late 19th century. The work provides insight into the struggles of the author regarding censorship and the challenges faced by new plays in the French theatre scene of his time. Central to the narrative are the plays "En Famille" and "La Casserole," through which Méténier explores themes of morality, censorship, and the cultural shortcomings of society. The opening of the work presents a conference held by Méténier, where he discusses the censorship of his play "En Famille." He recounts the series of events leading to the prohibition of his work, the reactions from the public and critics, and the absurdity of the censorship process in France. Throughout this segment, he emphasizes the need for artistic freedom and critiques the bureaucratic nature of censorship, ultimately inviting his audience to judge the merits of his play themselves. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of societal values and artistic expression throughout the remainder of the book. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
