Based on a true story, the play focuses on the comical way that Simone de Beauvoir tries to help her lifelong companion Jean-Paul Sartre deal with his obsession with Olga – who happens to be Simone’s girlfriend! Along the way, Sartre and Albert Camus both try to win the affection of Olga’s younger sister, Wanda.
