’The Wagon, a three-act drama by playwright Alain Saint-Saëns, is a theatrical contribution to the well-known theme of the Shoah, the Jewish genocide perpetrated by the Nazis. Its novelty lies not so much in the dramas style, but in the temporary location of the dramatic action, just before a group of Jews arrive by train at Auschwitz concentration camp, which allows the anticipation of the outcome. Thus, the tragic end that awaits descendants of Abraham, known by every reader, is presented surprisingly before, being the executor one of their own, which puts the reader in the presence of an anticipated catharsis of the Hobbesian horror of which is capable human nature: man is a predator to man.’Borja Javier Ormazábal Hernández (Universidad Complutense, Madrid, Spain).’The Jump by Alain Saint-Saëns is a two-act play that brings the audience to events that could possibly have happened to a handful of people trapped on the 81st Floor of the World Trade Center North Tower on September 11, 2001. Magnificently crafted! This indelible and impactful play is a vivid reminder of that lethal morning for all generations to come.’ María José Delgado (Capital University, USA). 10
