The Fighting Cock by JEAN ANOUILH , translated by LUCIENNE BILL with John Clements as the General Sarah Badel as Aglae Wendy Murray as Sophie James Aubrey as Tarquin Mendigales Michael Aldridge as Baron Henri Belazor Written during the wilderness years of General de Gaulle, The
Fighting Cock of the title is also a general, and he too lives an exiled life in his backwater country house. There. like some
20th-century Don Quixote , he tilts against the windmills of moral corruption and seeks to expose the maggots of decay infesting the fruit of society. Indeed, so obsessed is he with his self-imposed crusade that he fails to notice the dangerous cracks that are threatening the fabric of his superficially serene domesticity.
Directed by DAVID JOHNSTON
