Jean Calas, Tragédie En Cinq Actes, En Vers, by Jean-Louis Laya and Maradan, presents a dramatic retelling of the infamous Jean Calas affair that shook 18th-century France. First performed in Paris at the Théâtre de la Nation on December 18, 1790, this play explores themes of religious intolerance and injustice. Set against the backdrop of pre-revolutionary France, the tragedy delves into the wrongful execution of Jean Calas, a Protestant man accused of murdering his son to prevent his conversion to Catholicism. Laya’s verse drama offers a critical reflection on the social and judicial systems of the time, resonating with the revolutionary fervor that swept the nation. The play stands as a powerful commentary on the need for justice, tolerance, and the protection of individual rights.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
