The Execution by Marie-Claire Blais

The Execution is Marie-Claire Blais's only play for the stage. Set in a boarding school, it tells the story of two schoolboys who plot the murder of one of their classmates and enact the crime. As a play, it is a study of innocence, evil and complicity, themes well-known to readers of Blais's fiction.

In 1939, Marie-Claire Blais was born in Québec City. Crazy Shadows (1959), Blais' first novel, was a literary revolution in Quebec. With its horrific representation of society's obsessions and ills, the novel ushered forth a new era in Quebec fiction. Her works have been translated into 13 languages and have received international praise.
