| | Jean Anouilh |
 | | In 1931-32 Anouilh was secretary to the actor and director Louis Jouvet at the Comédie des Champs-Elysées. |
 | | Anouilh's early plays were produced by Aurélien Lugné-Poe, a theatrical innovator, and the Pitoëffs, whose repertoire also included Paul Claudel, Jean Cocteau, André Gide, and Luigi Pirandello. |
 | | Anouilh grouped his plays under adjectives descriptive of their dominant tone: "fl" (tragedies, realistic plays), "pink" (fantasy dominates), "brilliant" (combination of pink and fl plays in aristocratic environments), "jarring" (fl plays with bitter humour), "costumed" (with historical characters), "baroque," and mes fours (my failures). |
