Scope and Content

From the Series:

The bulk of this series is comprised of materials by and about Eugène Ionesco, the Romanian playwright who wrote mostly in French, and one of the foremost figures of the French Avant-garde theatre. A personal friend of Moshe Lazar, Ionesco was interviewed by him; the transcripts are part of this series. An article by Moshe Lazar called “The Psychodramatic Stage: Ionesco and His Doubles” is included in several drafts as well as the final publication. Several of the folders contain copies of works by Ionesco such as “The Bald Soprano” and “La Cantatrice Chauve.” In addition to the materials on Ionesco, there are a few other notable playwrights represented including Michel de Ghelderode who was a Belgian dramatist writing in French, and a play by Molière. (Though he lived in the 17th century, Molière is considered the creator of modern French comedy.)
