The Just Assassins (also known as The Just or Les Justes) is a 1949 play by Albert Camus that explores the morality of political violence and terrorism through the story of a group of Russian Socialist-Revolutionaries in 1905. The play focuses on their plan to assassinate Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich, the Tsar's uncle, and the moral conflicts and personal dilemmas that arise among the assassins as they prepare for and carry out the act.
The play centers on five revolutionaries: Yanek, who is chosen to throw the bomb; Dora, who built the bomb; Boris, the leader; Stepan, a hardened revolutionary; and Voinov, who ultimately decides he is not suited for the violent path. The core conflict revolves around the tension between extremist and more "delicate" forms of terrorism, as exemplified by Stepan's unwavering belief in violence and Yanek's moral qualms about killing innocent people.
Written by Albert Camus
Directed by Anna Seat
