"The Drama of Fallen France examines various dramatic works written and/or produced in Paris during the four years of Nazi occupation and explains what they may have meant to their original audiences. Because of widespread financial support from the new French government at Vichy, the former French capital underwent a renaissance of theatre during this period, and both the public playhouses and the private theatres provided an amazing array of new productions and revivals. Some of the plays considered here are well known: Anouilh's Antigone, Sartre's "The Flies, Claudel's "The Satin Slipper. Others have remained obscure, such as Cocteau's "The Typewriter, Giraudoux's The Apollo of Marsoc, and "Montherlant's Nobody's Son; and two--Andre Obey's "Eight Hundred Meters and Simone Jollivet's "The Princess of Ursins--have remained virtually unread since the early 1940s. In examining French culture under the Vichy regime and the Nazis, Kenneth Krauss links the politics of gender and sexuality with the more traditional political concepts of collaboration and resistance. A final chapter on Truffaut's 1980 film, "The Last Metro, demonstrates how the present manages to rewrite and revision the complex and seemingly contradictory reality of the past.
