Summary: Excellent French Playwright
Comment: I was first introduced to Jean Anouilh during a script analysis class, where I was required to do a scene design. My professor recommended Jean Anouilh's "Antigone" to me and I took his advice. Much to my surprise, "Antigone," set in France after the Nazi invasion, quickly became my favorite play ever. "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. I highly recommend this book to anybody who's looking for something different to read, or maybe looking for a spin on the classics.

Summary: review of Anouilh's Five Plays
Comment: Did a study of various versions of Sophocles' *Antigone* for a highschool project last year, and used this version of Anouilh's play. I know some French and find it to be a fairly faithful translation into very persuasive English, and a wonderful read both as a version of Sophocles' original and as a political adaptation, used to speak about France under a Nazi regime. After finishing Antigone, I read the other four plays in the book for the fun of it, and thouroughly enjoyed Eurydice and Romeo and Jeannette. Anouilh seems to obsess over young love, loss of innocence, and the ideals of static perfection in a changing world; these themes seem to hold the five plays together. In my opinion, his work is worthy of a broad audience and broad acclaim, and this edition of the plays is a very decent set of translations.
