Edmond Rostand (1868-1918) was a playwright born out of his time. In a period when naturalism was the order of the day Rostand's plays seemed to hark back to a more romantic, chivalric period. His plays proved popular with the French public bolstered by a number of roles specifically created for the great Parisian actress Sarah Bernhardt. Peter Oswald was born in England in 1965. His original plays include the verse plays Allbright and Valadonama, and Fair Ladies At A Game Of Poem Cards, Augustine's Oak, Ramayana, and Sha Kuntala. He has also adapted plays by Sophocles and Lorca. |
