About Dirty Hands
The seven-act play Dirty Hands was written in 1948. It tells the story of a bourgeois intellectual named Hugo and his mission to assassinate Hoederer, the leader of the Communist Party, on the Party’s orders. However, on his release from prison, he learns that the Party has adopted Hoederer’s policies, which it was so intent on denouncing just two years previously, so he will have to repent of his crime if he wants to rejoin the Party.
Dirty Hands premiered in the aftermath of the Second World War, and resonated because of its thoughtful exploration of the ways and means of political engagement and action.
