Les Bouches inutiles [literally: The Useless Mouths, but the title was translated as Who Shall Die?] is a play written by Simone de Beauvoir in 1943. It is composed of two acts and eight tableaux and was performed for the first time in November 1945, in a staging by Michel Vitold at the Théâtre des Carrefours, before being published by Gallimard in December of the same year. The director was also an actor; he had performed in several plays written by Jean-Paul Sartre, notably, Huis clos. The theater in which the play was created still exists, under the name of “théâtre des Bouffes-du-Nord”.
