A French Tale Of Fractured Memory   What begins as a new job for Parisian milliner Amanda quickly evolves into an absurd plot to place her in the role of a dead girl... and to gain the love of a prince! This tale from existentialist playwright Jean Anouilh is full of odd characters, comic situations, and ruminations on the lasting force of love.

About The Author

Jean Anouilh (June 23, 1910 – October 3, 1987) was born in Bordeaux and had Basque ancestry. He started his career as a jobbing writer in the film industry. In 1931, his first play, L'Hermine, flopped, but he followed it up with a string of others. Anouilh was an extremely private man, and very little is known about his private life except for what can be deduced from reading his plays. It is known that he married Monelle Valentin, an actress. He has a very long career, and is not associated with one specific school of dramatic thought. His plays are vastly different from each other. Some are classic farces with dark twists, some adaptations of Greek myths, and some explorations of life and love. He was an outstanding writer with a unique ability to craft a wide spectrum of brilliant masterpieces.

Jean Anouilh died in Lausanne, Switzerland.
