Jean Marie Lucien Pierre Anouilh [June 23, 1910-October 3, 1987] was interested in individual and mass reactions to established authority. He found that theme in the ancient, classical play 'Antigone'. So he decided to update the story, and have it performed in modern times. His play opened on February 6, 1944. It quickly was interpreted as a statement against the Nazi occupation of France, and as support for the French Resistance.
Jean Marie Lucien Pierre Anouilh [June 23, 1910-October 3, 1987] wrote his version of the legend of 'Antigone' in 1942. Its first performance on the stage was in Paris on February 6, 1944. It was adapted to television, as a PBS program, in 1974.
