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.
