Mr. Barnett

"Monsieur Barnett is a play by Jean Anouilh, written in 1965, first performed in Bristol, England in 1967, then in France on October 29, 1974 at the café-théâtre des Halles Le Fanal, directed and costumed by Nicole Anouilh with original music by Patrick Lemaitre. Monsieur Barnett is one of the few plays by Jean Anouilh (along with Jezebel, Medea and The Arrest) to have premiered abroad before being performed in Paris."

Summary: "Monsieur Barnett has it all: fortune, power. But not love. He has tried everything, in vain. This important man confesses and dies in a barber's chair, in front of a young manicurist. Under the direction of Madame Hortense, the brasserie orchestra plays Brilliant Reverie and Autumn Impressions. But a passionate drama erupts, like an untimely clash of cymbals. Two forays by Anouilh into the café-théâtre genre."
