JEAN ANOUILH FIVE PLAYS

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.

Marele dramaturg francez Jean Anouilh (1910-87) a scris atat comedii „roz” amarui, cat si drame tragice „negre”. Jean Anouilh Five Plays - cea mai buna antologie in limba engleza a operelor sale - trosneste atat cu inteligenta lui ascutita, cat si cu cinismul sau inghetat.
