Jacques Monférier Bücher

Vor mehr als 30 Jahren entstand „Antigone“ und begründete den Weltruhm Jean Anouilhs: „Das Theaterpublikum in aller Welt weiß wohl, was es an diesem Anouilh hat: einen Autor, der immer zu fesseln weiß, der nichts Halbfertiges, Törichtes, Mattes anbietet, der sich auf Brillanz und Problematik, glänzende Rollen und glänzende dramatische Durchführung, auf die Magie des Pessimismus und die Magie des Witzes gleich gut versteht.“ (Joachim Kaiser) „Antigone”: das Drama, mit dem Anouilh seinen Weltruhm begründete - deutsche Übertragung von Franz Geiger.

The Impostures of Scapin is a 3-act comedy in prose. In his fathers' absence, Octave has secretly married Hyacinthe, the woman he loves, but on his return his father has decided to marry him to an unkown. As to Leander it is Zerbinette he loves, but his father has also decided otherwise. So what are these two young men without money going to do against the power and authority of their fathers? Call on Scapin of course, the merry, playfull and talketive valet: only one of his many tricks can turn around the difficult situation! Being the key figure in the commedia dell'arte that he is, it's not surprising that Molière chose Scapin for a leading part in one of his best farces ever. And it's also nott surprising that this play was one of the most played and most acclaimed in the repertoire of Molière: it's universal humor continues to entertain everybody, even those who are not easily amused.
