COPY LINK URL ON DESCRIPTION

Four full-length plays by one of the greatest dramatists Europe

has produced. Among the great figures who pioneered the

modern movement in world literature, none showed himself

more versatile than France's Jean Cocteau. Poet, novelist,

critic, artist, actor, film-maker, Cocteau was also one of the

greatest dramatists Europe has produced, with over a dozen

plays which are frequently revived, not only in France, but in

translation in many other countries. For this collection, fine

translations of four full-length plays, one short play, and the

20Speaker's Text for the Cocteau-Stravinsky opera Oedipus

Rex have been selected. The longer plays (The Infernal

Machine, Orpheus, Bacchus, Knights of the Round Table) are

re-creations of classic myth and legend13poetic and highly

original interpretations of certain timeless themes which have

inspired great drama through the ages. The Eiffel Tower

Wedding Party is, by contrast, merely a curtain-raiser, but

remarkable as un jeu d'esprit, revealing the wit and

psychological penetration for which Cocteau is famous.
