Great European Stage Directors Volume 7: Barrault, Mnouchkine, Stein

This volume offers a compelling account of Jean-Louis Barrault, Ariane Mnouchkine and Peter Stein, who not only won international recognition as directors whose repertoires ranged from classical Greek to Shakespeare to the avant-garde, but also succeeded as leaders of their own companies.

The ensembles they nurtured and kept afloat despite setbacks represent the artistic vision of each: the Compagnie Madeleine Renaud Jean-Louis Barrault, the Th tre du Soleil and the Schaub hne.

Selected landmark productions illuminate the achievements of these three directors and their companies.
