Break of Noon (Partage de midi) is a collaborative attempt, edited
by Anthony Rudolf, at preparing an English-language edition of Paul
Claudel's remarkable and complex play, an unstable text which gave
Claudel many problems throughout his life. These are explored in
essays by David Furlong of Exchange Theatre in London, which put on
a production of the play in 2018 and John Naughton, a leading
authority on Claudel. The critical apparatus is completed by the
late Susannah York's essay on her own involvement with the play and
recounts her interaction with her fellow translator, Jonathan
Griffin. The instability of this strange and compelling work in its
various original versions is mirrored by the three critical essays
in the present work, which do not always see eye to eye. It is
thirty years since Jonathan Griffin died and nearly fifty years
since Pierre Rouve's Ipswich production of Jonathan's translation,
starring Ben Kingsley and Annie Firbank.
