Antigone ANTIGONE by Jean Anouilh “In world literature no dissent from mundanity has been more trenchant than Antigone’s”. This is the story of a girl who challenged the state and invited death as she could not abide with mediocrity and conformity. There is triumph & disaster, kindness & cruelty and love & hate all intricately woven together in this masterpiece. This is one of the major dramas of our time, translated into Irish for the first time and produced by the newly formed theatre company, Splódar. Jean Anouilh Jean Anouilh was born in Bordeaux in 910. His father was a tailor and his mother was a professional violinist. He studied law in Paris and worked in the advertising industry for a time. His first drama was staged in 1932 but it was with the plays Le voyageur sans baggage (Traveller without baggage) and Le bal des voleurs (Carnival of Thieves) that he achieved fame. Some of his other famous plays were La Valse des Toreadors, L’Aloutte, Pauvre Bitos and La petite Moliere. He wrote Antigone in 1942 and it was first performed in 1944 while Paris was occupied by the Germans. Apparently the play was permitted because the Germans approved of Creon’s opinions on dictatorship. On the other hand, the Resistance regarded the young girl Antigone as a heroine opposing the German invasion of the country. Anouilh married the actress Monelle Valentin in 1931 but they separated some years later. He died in 1987. Cast – Principals

Antigone ANTIGONE by Jean Anouilh“In world literature no dissent from mundanity has been more trenchant than Antigone’s”. Seo scéal an chailín a thug dúshlán an stáit agus a chuir fáilte roimh an mbás mar nár fhéad sí glacadh leis an measarthacht nó leis an modhúlacht. Tá an bhua is an díomua, an chaimiléireacht is an chneastacht, an grá is an ghráin fite fuaite ina chéile sa scoth-shaothar seo. Ceann de mhór-dhrámaí ár linne, aistrithe go Gaeilge don chéad uair agus arna léiriú ag an gcompántas nua-bhunaithe Splódar. Jean Anouilh Rugadh Jean Anouilh i mBordeaux i 1910. Ba tháilliúir é a athair agus veidhleadóir proifisiúnta ba ea a mháthair. Rinne sé staidéar ar an dlí i bParas agus d’oibrigh sé in áisíneacht fógraíochta ar feadh tamaill. Stáitsíodh a chéad dráma i 1932 ach b’iad na drámaí Le voyageur sans baggage (Taistealaí gan bhagáiste) agus Le bal des voleurs (Carnabhal na ngadaithe) a bhain cáil amach dó. Drámaí cáiliúla eile leis ná La Valse des Toreadors, L’Aloutte, Pauvre Bitos agus La petite Moliere. Scríobh sé Antigone i 1942 agus stáitsíodh é i 1944.le linn dona Gearmánaigh bheith i gceannas ar Pharas. De reir dealraimh ceadaíodh an léiriú mar gur aontaigh na Gearmánaigh le tuairimí Chreon i leith na deachtóireachta. Ar a láimh eile dhe, d’fhéach muintir an Resistance ar an gcailín óg seo, Antigone mar bhanlaoch in aghaidh ionradh na nGearmánach ar a dtír. Phós Anouilh an aisteoir Monelle Valentin i 1931 ach scaradar roinnt blianta ina dhiaidh sin. Fuair sé bás i 1987.
