I definitely recommend getting your hands on "The Danton Case" and "Thermidor" and reading them through. I do think they're overlooked masterpieces in the genre of Revolutionary fiction/drama. That said, they are products of their time and their author's rather bizarre personality. I recommend doing some research (or reading the wikipedia article, whatever) on the playwright before you read them, because it definitely puts them in context.
