Includes bibliography. / Because of the great emphasis placed on a need for a
unity and harmony of all the relationships within the French
theatre, an emphasis that has continued since the early part
of this century to the present time, I have undertaken to
analyze the nature of these associations, in an attempt to
assess their significance for the present and future of the
French theatre.
Atte·r having provided an historical sketch of French
theatre relationships since the Middle Ages, I began this
study with an examination of the problem of the author and
the director in the modern French theatre. It was seen that
a schizm between these two elements exists in theory and
practice, that conflicting ideals of a theatre geared to
the author or one that is a vehicle for the director have
been and continue to be represented by certain "animateurs,"
and that it is indeed the director who determines which of
these two factors will have the primary stress in his theatre.
