−	'''''~~The Balcony~~''''' (~~French~~: ''~~Le Balcon~~'') [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Balcony] is a play by the French dramatist [[Jean Genet]] (1910-1986). Set in an unnamed city that is experiencing a revolutionary uprising in the streets, most of the action takes place in an upmarket brothel that functions as a microcosm of the regime of the establishment under threat outside. Since Peter Zadek directed its first production at the Arts Theatre Club in London in 1957, the play has been revived frequently (in various versions) and has attracted many prominent directors, including Peter Brook, Erwin Piscator, Roger Blin, Giorgio Strehler, and JoAnne Akalaitis. It has also been adapted as a film and given operatic treatment.	+	'''''Le Balcon''''' (English: ''"The Balcony"'') [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Balcony] is a play by the French dramatist [[Jean Genet]] (1910-1986).
