Jean-Claude Grumberg is a French playwright. His work reflects his experiences as the son of Jewish immigrant workers, whose father was deported and disappeared during the German Occupation. His early experimental plays, written in the 1960s and 1970s, include DEMAIN UNE FENETRE SUR RUE, AMORPHE D’OTTENBURG, DREYFUS, and EN R’VENANT DE L’EXPO. His biggest success was with L’ATELIER (1979), a more conventional, naturalist-style drama. Set in a small clothing workshop in the immediate post-war period, it gives an understated and moving picture, seasoned with Yiddish humor, of the life of survivors of the Holocaust.
