Prolific French playwright, whose works ranged from high drama to absurdist farce. Jean Anouilh's career spanned over five decades. Although he cannot be linked with any particular school or trend, he partly adopted Sartre's existentialist views and was also influenced by the way Louis Jouvet and Jean Giraudoux created theater. Anouilh hated publicity, and remained reclusive all his life. Often his unsuccessful protagonist, idealistic and intransigent, is in conflict with the world of compromise and corruption.

| Antigone was originally produced in Paris in 1942, when France was occupied and part of Hitler's Europe. The play depicts an authoritarian regime and the play's characters mirrored the predicament of the French people of the time. Based on Sophocles' ancient Greek tragedy, Antigone, which was first performed in Athens in the 5th century BC, its theme was nevertheless topical. For in Antigone's faithfulness to her dead brother and his proper burial and her reiterated "No!" to the dictator Creon, the French audience saw its own resistance to the German occupation. The Germans allowed the play to be performed presumably because they found Creon's arguments for dictatorship so convincing. The play is regularly performed and studied around the world. | |||||

Synopsis: | Eight years in the making, this new translation is Zander Teller's labor of love. Teller, who is bilingual (French/English), brings a personal flavor to the production, focusing on the existential notes and the philosophical questions raised within the play. Anouilh's Antigone lays bare entirely modern questions at the heart of his telling of the story: in a world without gods, where does loyalty lie? Are there principles or passions worth more than life? In the end, the conflict between Antigone and her uncle Creon, the king, offers a harrowing portrayal of the power of 'No,' and the price of 'Yes'. | |||||

Synopsis: | A charismatic leader is locked into a love-hate relationship with his fiscally prudent chancellor; but, having rashly promoted him, he encourages his loyal entourage to destroy him. Not for nothing does the mind turn to diverting thoughts of Blair and Brown while watching Jean Anouilh's intellectually vacuous piece of boulevard history. Anouilh's play is based on one, endlessly repeated idea: that Henry II was plagued by a homoerotic, stonily unrequited passion for his old hawking, horsing and whoring chum, Thomas Becket. Having pinched his mistress and rashly elevated him first to the chancellorship and then to Canterbury, Henry is confronted by the awkward fact that Becket puts the honour of God before that of his king. So, in a rage born of thwarted love, Henry licenses his barons to kill the unyielding Becket. -Michael Billington, Guardian | |||||

Synopsis: | Chapman, writing in the New York News called The Lark: "a beautiful, beautiful play. . .It is always the story of a simple girl who became an inspired warrior and then was tried by the church-but there have been several ways of telling it. Anouilh's way, and Miss Hellman's, is to try to tell the story from two viewpoints. One of them is how we look at the tale now as a piece of history, with our knowledge of how the girl's blundering captors unwittingly created a martyr who became forever a symbol of courage and faith. The other viewpoint has been to try to imagine what it must have been like to be Joan herself. Both approaches to this legend of the Martyr of Rouen have been splendidly realized by the technique of divorcing the drama from the confinements of time, sequence and space. Until the last moment-a thrilling and uplifting one of Joan's greatest earthly triumph, the coronation of the worthless Dauphin for whom she fought-there is no scenery in the usual sense, merely a few levels of steps and platforms | |||||

| According to Atkinson (Times), a play "of many moods. . .wistfully romantic, satirical, fantastic. . .To make his points about love (the author) has invented a fable about twin brothers-Frederic, who is shy and sensitive, and Hugo, who is heartless and aggressive. Frederic is in love with a hussy who is in love with Hugo. To save Frederic from an unhappy marriage, Hugo tries to distract him by bringing to a ball a beautiful dancer who masquerades as a mysterious personage and becomes the triumph of the occasion. She is a susceptible maiden in her own right. She not only breaks up all the cynical romances that have been going on before she arrived, but loses her own heart as well." | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Jean Anouilh. adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher, translated by Stephanie L. Debner | |||||
Synopsis: | In this new adaptation of Jean Anouilh's 1940 romantic comedy, Amanda, a poor hat maker from Paris, is invited to a chateau by an eccentric duchess to spend a weekend trying to make her suicidal nephew, Albert, forget about the death of his great love, the divine Leocadia. Amanda, it turns out, is a dead ringer for the dead woman, and if she can convince Albert that she is his lost love for just three days, then Albert just might not kill himself. A gossamer tale of love and trickery, in which a fake can give more pleasure than the real thing. | |||||
