Below Zero: A Play - Lajos Walder

Drama. Set in a remote radio outpost in northern Quebec in 1942, Below Zero is a study in obsession, duplicity, aversion, infidelity, and psychological abuse to the point of murder... people stuck together with no escape.

Written in early 1940s in Hungary, BELOW ZERO is arguably the prototypical existential drama, anticipating Jean-Paul Sartre's NO EXIT (1944), among other works.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Lajos Walder (1913–1945): Arguably one of the most significant modern Hungarian poets. A Jewish lawyer by trade, he was barred from practicing due to rising antisemitism and forced into a Hungarian labor battalion. He tragically died in the Gunskirchen concentration camp on the day of its liberation. His family safely preserved his manuscripts, which were later translated into English.
