The Tragedy of the Poor Molasses Seller and Early Plays

Description

Amidst the tragedies of society, the playwright Saadallah Wannous moves, attempting to depict the unspeakable humiliation of the peaceful individual who seeks security wherever he can find it, even in his interactions with others. The molasses seller is one such seeker of security. In various parts of the world, he works to provide for his children, wife, and family, yet even he cannot escape the clutches of villains who manipulate words, twisting them into insults and curses against the powerful and influential, thus slandering those who fall prey to their clutches, stained with the blood of the poor and the downtrodden.
