Five Plays: Antigone, Eurydice, The Ermine, The Rehearsal, Romeo and Jeannette 4.19 · Rating details. · 199 Ratings · 17 Reviews. The Ermine, Anouilh's first published play at the age of 22, includes a brutal premeditated murder nested in a doomed, pathetic romance. The Rehearsal, a darkly cynical play about love and the human condition, has as a main character, a nihilist named "Hero", with only one remaining fondness - "breaking things." Romeo and Jeannette, a tale of love's fickleness and multiple tragic endings, one-ups Shakespeare in the young-love-turns-to-horror department. Eurydice, The Ermine, The Rehearsal, Romeo and Jeannette are the other plays included in this edition.

One person found this helpful. "Romeo and Jeanette" takes place in a poor family's house in France and is highly amusing. Set in the middle of a French train station with a defunct acting troupe and the poor family who runs the cafe there, "Eurydice" is quite entertaining. Anouilh definately puts a different spin on the typical love story.

  • Surviving Antigone: Anouilh, Adaptation, and the Archive
    SURVIVING ANTIGONE: ANOUILH, ADAPTATION AND THE ARCHIVE Katelyn J. Buis A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2014 Committee: Cynthia Baron, Advisor Jonathan Chambers ii ABSTRACT Dr. Cynthia Baron, Advisor The myth of Antigone has been established as a preeminent one in political and philosophical debate. One incarnation of the myth is of particular interest here. Jean Anouilh’s Antigone opened in Paris, 1944. A political and then philosophical debate immediately arose in response to the show. Anouilh’s Antigone remains a well-known play, yet few people know about its controversial history or the significance of its translation into English immediately after the war. It is this history and adaptation of Anouilh’s contested Antigone that defines my inquiry. I intend to reopen interpretive discourse about this play by exploring its origins, its journey, and the archival limitations and motivations controlling its legacy and reception to this day. By creating a space in which multiple readings of this play can exist, I consider adaptation studies and archival theory and practice in the form of theatre history, with a view to dismantle some of the misconceptions this play has experienced for over sixty years. This is an investigation into the survival of Anouilh’s Antigone since its premiere in 1944. I begin with a brief overview of the original performance of Jean Anouilh’s Antigone and the significant political controversy it caused. The second chapter centers on the changing reception of Anouilh’s Antigone beginning with the liberation of Paris to its premiere on the Broadway stage the following year.

  • Eurydice Monologue #1 I Hate Parties. and a Wedding Party Is the Biggest
    Eurydice Monologue #1 I hate parties. And a wedding party is the biggest party of all. All the guests arrived and Orpheus is taking a shower.,’’ He’s always taking a shower when the guests arrive so he doesn’t have to greet them. Then I have to greet them. A wedding is for daughters and fathers. The mothers all dress up, trying to look like young women. But a wedding is for a father and a daughter. They stop being married to each other on that day. I always thought there would be more interesting people at my wedding. Eurydice Monologue #2 There was a roar, and a coldness — I think my husband was with me. What was my husband’s name? My husband's name? Do you know it? How strange. I don’t remember. It was horrible to see his face when I died. His eyes were two black birds and they flew to me. I said no — stay where you are — he needs you in order to see! When I got through the cold they made me swim in a river and I forgot his name. I forgot all the names. I know his name starts with my mouth shaped like a ball of twine – Oar — oar. I forget. They took me to a tiny boat. I only just fit inside. I looked at the oars and I wanted to cry. I tried to cry but I just drooled a little. I’ll try now [She tries to cry and finds that she can’t] What happiness it would be to cry.

  • Production Images Released for Hadestown at the National Theatre Click Here to Download
    12 November 2018 Production images released for Hadestown at the National Theatre Click here to download Music, lyrics and book by Anaïs Mitchell Developed with Rachel Chavkin Olivier Theatre Press Night 13 November, in rep until 26 January Following record-breaking runs at New York Theatre Workshop and Canada’s Citadel Theatre, Hadestown comes to the National Theatre prior to Broadway. In the warmth of summertime, songwriter Orpheus and his muse Eurydice are living it up and falling in love. But as winter approaches, reality sets in: these young dreamers can’t survive on songs alone. Tempted by the promise of plenty, Eurydice is lured to the depths of industrial Hadestown. On a quest to save her, Orpheus journeys to the underworld where their trust in each other is put to a final test. Celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and director Rachel Chavkin have transformed Mitchell’s acclaimed concept album into a genre-defying new musical that mixes modern American folk music with vintage New Orleans jazz to reimagine a sweeping ancient tale. ‘Inventive. Beguiling. Luminous. Spellbinding.’ – New York Times The cast includes Sharif Afifi, Reeve Carney, André De Shields, Rosie Fletcher, Amber Gray, Beth Hinton-Lever, Carly Mercedes Dyer, Eva Noblezada, Seyi Omooba, Gloria Onitiri, Patrick Page, Aiesha Pease, Joseph Prouse, Jordan Shaw and Shaq Taylor. Directed by Rachel Chavkin, with set design by Rachel Hauck, costume design by Michael Krass, lighting design by Bradley King, sound design by Nevin Steinberg and Jessica Paz, choreography by David Neumann, musical direction and vocal arrangements by Liam Robinson, orchestrations and arrangements by Michael Chorney and Todd Sickafoose, with Ken Cerniglia as dramaturg.

  • Rachel Chavkin Takes on Broadway
    Arts & Humanities High Art, High Ideals: Rachel Chavkin Takes on Broadway The Tony Award-winning director of Hadestown may be theater’s most forward- thinking artist. By Stuart Miller '90JRN | Fall 2019 Zack DeZon / Getty Images Making her way to the stage of Radio City Music Hall to accept the 2019 Tony Award for best direction of a musical, Rachel Chavkin ’08SOA was thinking about time. She had all of ninety seconds to get to the microphone and deliver her speech, which was written on a much-creased piece of paper folded in her hands. Seven months pregnant, Chavkin, thirty-eight, was not about to sprint. As she told Columbia Magazine days later, “I warned my husband: if they call my name, I won’t have time to hug you!” Hadestown, an enthralling, profoundly moving retelling of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, would, by night’s end, capture eight awards, including best original score and best musical. The accolades were not only hard won — Chavkin, a leading light of experimental theater, and Anaïs Mitchell, a singer-songwriter from Vermont, shaped and refined Hadestown for seven years — but also, some might say, overdue. In seventy-three years of the Tony Awards (named after Antoinette Perry, an actress, director, and theater advocate), Chavkin became just the fourth woman to win for best direction of a musical, joining Julie Taymor (The Lion King), Susan Stroman (The Producers), and Diane Paulus ’97SOA (Pippin). And in 2019, out of twelve new musicals on Broadway, Hadestown was the only one directed by a woman. The show, playing at the Walter Kerr Theatre on West 48th Street, is set mostly in a New Orleans–style barrelhouse at a time of economic and environmental decay.

At the end of this compilation, there is an updated bibliography which would be very useful for studying mythology, literature, history and classical culture through film.

INTRODUCCIÓN Hace ya más de diez años que publicamos una primera filmografía sobre la Grecia Antigua, centrándonos especialmente en la adaptación de tragedias y mitos griegos a la actualidad. En aquel momento recogíamos unos ciento veinte títulos aconsejando aquéllos que ofrecían una mayor posibilidad de uso didáctico en las aulas (Valverde 1998). Posteriormente, el profesor Fernando Lillo Redonet, una de las máximas autoridades en nuestro país sobre el cine grecolatino, nos propuso revisar dicha relación de títulos ampliándola hasta superar las doscientas películas en un anexo que acompañaba a un sucinto análisis sobre la «Electra» de Michael Cacoyannis y el Philologica Urcitana Revista Semestral de Iniciación a la Investigación en Filología Vol.
