Trivia
Jeux de massacre: Ionesco worked on the play for forty years, under various titles, such as "The Plague", "The Epidemic in the City" and "The Triumph of Death". The final title, Jeux de massacre, is the name of a game usually found in marketplaces and fairgrounds. The game is about hitting and knocking over moving dolls. Most of Ionessco's pieces are based on his own ideas and material. For this play, however, he has taken his material from Daniel Defoe's book "The Year of the Plague" from 1722, a well-documented description of a plague epidemic in London in 1665.

The play premiered on 11 September 1970 at the Théâtre Montparnasse, directed by Jorge Lavelli.
