Five Plays
by Jean Anouilh, Miriam John
Synopsis
The great French playwright Jean Anouilh (1910-87) wrote both "pink" bittersweet comedies and "black" tragic dramas.
Jean Anouilh Five Plays―the finest English-language anthology of his works―crackles with both his sharp wit and his icy cynicism.
In Antigone, his preeminent play and exemplar of his themes and style, he creates a disturbing world in which fate may be no more than a game of role-playing.
Eurydice, The Ermine, The Rehearsal, Romeo and Jeannette are the other plays included in this edition.
