Anouilh Plays: 2 - The Rehearsal; Becket; The Orchestra; Eurydice (Paperback)

This selection of plays by Jean Anouilh (1910-87), one of France's best-known dramatists, includes some of his most enduring work: "The Rehearsal" ("quintessential Anouilh,"" Herald Tribune"); "Becket," which focuses on the relationship between Becket and Henry II; and "The Orchestra," "A Play Within a Concert," all translated by Jeremy Sams; together with "Eurydice," an ironic modern reworking of the myth ("a fascinating piece," "Financial Times"), translated by Peter Meyer.

"Becket": "Witty, intelligent, full of repartee and irreverence ... it can hold an audience spellbound."--"Financial Times"

"The Rehearsal": "Jeremy Sams has translated impeccably."--"Observer"
