'Anouilh Is A Poet, But Not Of Words: He Is A Poet Of Wordsacted, Of Scenesset, Of Playersperforming' Peter Brookjean Anouilh, One Of The Foremost French Playwrights Of The Twentieth Century, Replaced The Mundane Realist Works Of The Previous Era With His Innovative Dramas, Which Exploit Fantasy, Tragic Passion, Scenic Poetry And Cosmic Leaps In Time And Space. Antigone, His Bestknown Play, Was Performed In 1944 In Nazicontrolled Paris And Provoked Fierce Controversy. In Defying The Tyrant Creon And Going To Her Death, Antigone Conveyed To Anouilh'S Compatriots A Covert Message Of Heroic Resistance; But The Author'S Characterisaation Of Creon Also Seemed To Exonerate Marshal Petain And His Fellow Collaborators. More Ambivalent Than His Ancient Model, Sophocles, Anouilh Uses Greek Myth To Explore The Disturbing Moral Dilemmas Of Our Times.Commentary And Notes By Ted Freeman.
