More than 30 years ago, "Antigone" was created, establishing Jean Anouilh's worldwide fame: "The theater audience around the world knows well what it has in this Anouilh: an author who always knows how to captivate, who offers nothing half-finished, foolish, or dull, who excels in brilliance and complexity, in shining roles and outstanding dramatic execution, and who equally understands the magic of pessimism and the magic of wit." (Joachim Kaiser) "Antigone": the drama with which Anouilh founded his global renown - German translation by Franz Geiger.
