Jean-Baptiste Vivien de Châteaubrun was a French playwright and dramatist. He was born in the year 1775 and dedicated his life to study Greek tragedies and also wrote and polished four plays based in them. They were 'Mahomet second', 'Les Troyennes', 'Philoctete' and 'Astyanax'. Tragically, his only surviving work is 'Les Troyennes', because his other plays were destroyed by his maid, who mistook them for wrapping paper.
