	The Theatrical Art of Jean Giraudoux
		Giraudoux never believed that his age measured up to such periods of history, and hence tragedies written in it could not aspire to the formal solemnity of a Sophocles or a Racine.
		Each age produces the tragedies it deserves, and Giraudoux's are adaptations to the style and the limitations of the twentieth century.
		Like Racine, one of Giraudoux's principal admirations, he chose for his heroes and heroines celebrated figures of mythology and the Bible, figures like Judith, Electra, Helen, who slumber in books when they are not fulfilling their destinies in works the poets have devised to keep them alive.

		Hippolyte Jean Giraudoux (October 29 1882 - January 31 1944) was a French dramatist who wrote acclaimed plays.
		Giraudoux was also a prose writer and France as a diplomat and government official.
		This play is probably Giraudoux's masterpiece: it contains every emotion that could possibly be felt by a woman torn between the love of her brother and the hate of her mother.

	There Will Be No Trojan War
		Jean Giraudoux wrote it in 1935 as a warning to Europe about World War II.
		Giraudoux meant the script as a farce, not an allegory, so it works better as a general anti-war play than as specific protest.
		I think Giraudoux would admit the difference between a frivolous, taunting banner flown from a Greek mast and three fuel-heavy jetliners flown into inhabited buildings; Krishna himself advises that pacifism is sometimes more craven than war.

	Conflit et bonheur chez Jean Giraudoux
		Ainsi Giraudoux revient-il aux sources: la poésie est le langage à l'état pur, la tragédie grecque est le lieu où s'affrontent les passions primitives, et la province offre une série de types que définissent leur fonction et leur métier.
		Giraudoux privilégie les réactions humaines au point que son théâtre peut apparaître comme l'expression du rapport idéal entre la salle et la scène.
		Giraudoux a fait du présupposé de l'artiste la matière de son oeuvre.

	Jean Anouilh Biography / Biography of Jean Anouilh Biography Biography
		Jean Anouilh was born in Cérisole, near Bordeaux, on June 23, 1910.
		Profoundly impressed by the plays of Jean Giraudoux and Luigi Pirandello, which broke with the tradition of the realistic theater, Anouilh recognized the value of poetry, of illusion and fantasy, and of irony as a means of portraying basic truths about human life.
		He held the growing conviction that the essence of the theater, that is, its quality of make-believe, mirrors the pretense and self-delusion of life; this led him to exploit the artificiality of the theater as a way of exposing the falsity of men's motives and even of their allegedly noblest principles and sentiments.

		But in Giraudoux's telling, this fellow travels the world in his mind; when he measures miles he's in America, when he counts drachmas he is in Greece, and so on.
		Giraudoux' script concerns a lovely young woman named Isabel, who has been communing with the spirit of a dead young man. The ghost's presence has set the town awry: Fortune, in the words of one character, is displaying some intelligence, with the needy actually winning the lottery and other such karmic niceties.
		Giraudoux gives him the tools in the script, and Byrd uses those tools ably, powering the story to a conclusion that can't help but elicit a sigh.

		Jean Cocteau - qui dessina le masque mortuaire de Giraudoux - classait ses titres en poésie, poésie de roman, poésie critique, poésie de théâtre, etc. Cette classification serait plus juste encore pour Jean Giraudoux s’il fallait avec ce génie du verbe et de l’image se soucier de mettre un ordre.
		Le pli étant pris, j’espère qu’on reprendra aussi les autres pièces de Giraudoux, en particulier "Siegfried", qui pose les rapports entre France et Allemagne, et "La Guerre de Troie" n’aura pas lieu, puisque la guerre a toujours lieu dans quelque partie du monde.

		Jean Giraudoux was and remains a bit of an anomaly in the theatrical canon.
		Giraudoux’s choice of a simplistic medieval legend (or of any of the classical themes he has chosen for his other dramas) gives him a virtual tabla rossi upon which to practice his profoundly poetic and analytic craft.
		Giraudoux’s lyrical insights and elegiac phrasing, (which are, by the way, well translated by Roger Gellent) are lost within the hub of a blandly busy production.

	Jean GIRAUDOUX : Ondine
		Il faut une longue scène, grave et pénétrée (scène 11) pour qu'à travers la reine Yseult, Giraudoux se fasse l'écho de cette pensée romantique et féministe : la femme seule a su garder des contacts privilégiés avec l'âme générale de la Nature.
		Mais le propos de Giraudoux se révèle plus profond dans la scène 11, où nous comprenons par les paroles d'Yseult - ici initiatrice - que l'échec d'Ondine tient à l'orgueil de l'homme : "L'homme a voulu son âme à soi.
		L'univers de Giraudoux révèle ici son essentialisme : Ondine est l'Absolu, et Yseult exprime bien le malentendu qui a porté Hans vers elle : "Tu es la clarté, il a aimé une blonde.
