The Invisible Threshold: Two Plays by Gabriel Marcel

Exploring existential themes from a theistic perspective, Gabriel Marcel's plays delve into the complexities of human experience, focusing on hope, fidelity, and faith. His early works, collected in "Le Seuil invisible," tackle profound issues such as religious conversion and the struggle between beliefs and life’s challenges. The plays, "Grace" and "The Sandcastle," highlight moral dilemmas and the quest for authenticity amidst modern alienation. Through realistic portrayals, Marcel encourages audiences to reflect on their own choices and the essence of existence without providing definitive answers.
