“Fringe theatre of the first order” – Guardian «««««
LES ENFANTS TERRIBLES
By Jean Cocteau
In a new version by Helen Shutt
The Play
Elisabeth and Paul, siblings orphaned in their adolescence, build themselves a private fantasy world in the confines of one room, in which laughter and play soon give way to a dangerous game too magical to resist. This sensual, playful and surprising work brings to life Cocteau’s necromantic imagination in a bewitching ode to the beauty and fragility of youth.
The Author
Jean Maurice Eugène Clément Cocteau was one of the great polymaths of the twentieth century. Poet, novelist, playwright, filmmaker, designer and artist, his body of work is testament to an unsurpassed creativity and dedication to the arts. His work is wide-ranging and defies categorization, despite often being associated with surrealism and later, modernism. He is best known for the novel Les Enfants Terribles, the films La Belle et la Bête and Orphée and plays including La Machine Infernale, which was based upon Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex.
