Antigone jean anouilh translated barbara bray pdf printer. Commentary and notes by Ted Freeman. In defying the tyrant Creon and going to her death, Antigone conveyed to Anouilh's compatriots a covert message of heroic resistance; but the author's characterisaation of Creon also seemed to exonerate Marshal Petain and his fellow collaborators.

Jean Anouilh's play Antigone is a tragedy inspired by Greek mythology and the play of the same name by Sophocles. In English, it is often distinguished from its antecedent through its pronunciation (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃tiɡɔn], approximately an-tee-gon).
Performance history[edit]
Original production[edit]
The play was first performed in Paris at the Théâtre de l'Atelier on February 6, 1944, during the Nazioccupation. Produced under Nazi censorship, the play is purposefully ambiguous with regard to the rejection of authority (represented by Antigone) and the acceptance of it (represented by Creon). The parallels to the French Resistance and the Nazi occupation are clear, however. The original cast included Monelle Valentin (Antigone), Jean Davy (Créon), Suzanne Flon (Ismène), and André Le Gall (Hémon); the staging, decor and costumes were by André Barsacq.[1]
British première[edit]
The play received its British première by the Old Vic Theatre Company at the New Theatre, London, on 10 February 1949. The production was produced by Laurence Olivier (who also played the role of Chorus) and had the following cast:[2]
- Chorus - Laurence Olivier
- Antigone - Vivien Leigh
- Nurse - Eileen Beldon
- Ismene - Meg Maxwell
- Haemon - Dan Cunningham
- Creon - George Relph
- First Guard (Jonas) - Thomas Heathcote
- Second Guard (a Corporal) - Hugh Stewart
- Third Guard - George Cooper
- Messenger - Terence Morgan
- Page - Michael Redington
- Eurydice - Helen Beck
Adaptations[edit]
Actress Katharine Cornell produced and starred in a 1946 production at the National Theatre in Washington, D.C.[3] Sir Cedric Hardwicke played the role of King Creon. Also performing were Bertha Belmore, Wesley Addy, Ruth Matteson, George Mathews, and Oliver Cliff, and Marlon Brando (as the Messenger), Michael Higgins (The Third Guard). The production was staged by Cornell's husband Guthrie McClintic.[4] The translation was by Lewis Galantière.[5] It has since been published many times.
There was an English-language television production for the BBC in 1959 starring Dorothy Tutin.
In 1974, an American television production of the play, presented on PBS' Great Performances, starred Geneviève Bujold and Stacy Keach.[6]
There have also been more recent English translations by Barbara Bray in 2009 (ISBN9780413695406) and by Jeremy Sams in 2002 (ISBN9780573628191).
