Autograph manuscripts.

25 pages in-4°.

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

____________________________________________

An interesting and curious collection very characteristic of Anouilh's preparatory work before writing his plays: plans and drafts, ideas jotted down haphazardly on paper, scenes to be made, episodes, phrases and lines to be placed, character of the characters etc. with numerous character sketches and a large drawing representing a theatrical scene.

 A dozen pages concern the play Colombe (1951) but other projects are also mentioned, notably La Nuit solitaire and La Polka des cocus.

We are enclosing two corrected typed sheets, one of which is for Antigone.
