Jean-Pierre Martinez (born 1955 in Auvers-sur-Oise) is a well-known contemporary French writer, poet and playwright, as well as a semiotician. He wrote several novels, about 100 scripts for television and more than 90 theatre plays. His plays have been translated into English, Spanish, Portuguese, German and other languages and have been staged numerous times not only in France but also in other European countries, Latin America and the USA, and have always enjoyed great success. A great connoisseur of the human soul, Jean-Pierre Martinez reveals its secret (sometimes unpleasant or strange), tragicomic sides in his works, always with extraordinary kindness and witty humour, which makes these plays perceived by the audience (or reader) with great interest. Unfortunately, the work of this extraordinary master of drama has not been known in Ukraine until now. This collection of five of his most famous plays gives readers the opportunity to get acquainted with them for the first time, with the prospect of their presentation on Ukrainian theatre stages.
