Armand Gatti is a recognized writer of politically committed plays. Jean-Paul Sartre speaking from the stage of the Théâtre National Populaire (T.N.P.) in Paris after the banning there of Gatti's La Passion du Général Franco saluted him as a leading exponent, along with Brecht, Gorki and Dürrenmatt of the popular theatre of the sixties.
