Also included are appendices, copious notes and his essay "Seraphim's Theatre". Antonin Artaud was born in Marseilles in 1896 and died in Paris in 1948. He was an actor, poet and director. In 1927 he founded the Theatre Alfred Jarry with Roger Vitrac. His influence is widespread in the theatre today, notably in the plays of Adamov, Audiberti, Camus and Genet, and in the productions of Barrault, Vilar and Peter Brook.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***First impression of the first hardback edition in English of Volume 4 of Antonin Artaud: Collected Works. Published simultaneously with a paperback edition, the hardback edition is much harder to find as most went to lending and academic libraries. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. N° de réf. du vendeur 7535
