Five Plays: Antigone, Eurydice, The Ermine, The Rehearsal, Romeo and Jeannette

I have read many times Antigone in its original version, and found it to be one of the most beautiful modern theater plays. The words are simple but so true, it's like you can hear the little voice of Antigone fighting against the rest of the world, fighting for her version of the truth, fighting for and against her love at the same time. Absolutely beautiful...

It was my kid's reading assignment. Don't expect too much.

i needed this book for school and the book came 2 days earlier than the posted date said it would! that was awesome! also the book was very new

Worth it for Antigone alone: one of the most amazing plays ever. Check out the DVD with Weaver, Bujold, and Keach -- dark, absurdist, powerful.

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.

Bought for my daughter for her A level drama. She thoroughly enjoyed reading all the stories even though she only got it for one particular one
