This is an assessment of the work and influence as a director of
Jacques Copeau (1879-1949), who has long been regarded as one of
the fathers of twentieth-century French theatre. Along with Antoine
and his own pupils Dullin and Jouvet, Copeau is known to have been
instrumental in restoring the traditional values of theatre at the
same time as seeking, through training and experiment, a vital
contemporary function. The work of Brook's company and research
centre in Paris today is, for example, in direct descent from that
of Copeau. John Rudlin examines the course of Copeau's directorial
career, concentrating on his techniques in rehearsal and
performance, charting his relationships with those who collaborated
and worked with him, and elucidating his ideas of theatre. This
book will interest all scholars and students of twentieth-century
drama, and will also be of use to theatre practitioners.
