Jean ANOUILH (1910.1987)

Autograph manuscripts.

25 pages in-4°.

Plans and working notes for his plays Colombe , La Nuit solitaire and La Polka des cocus .

____________________________________________

Interesting and curious set very characteristic of Anouilh's preparatory work before writing his plays: plans and drafts, ideas thrown loose on paper, scenes to be done, episodes, sentences and lines to place, character of the characters etc. with numerous character sketches and a large drawing representing a theatrical scene.

Around ten pages concern the play Colombe (1951) but we also note other projects, notably La Nuit solitaire and La Polka des cocus .

We enclose two corrected typewritten sheets, one of which is for Antigone.
