Product Information

From its beginnings in turn-of-the-century Paris and throughout its 60-year reign of terror, the Theatre of the Grand Guignol gleefully celebrated horror and fear. Innocent victims, mangled beauty, insanity, mutilation, depravity, and guilt were its primary themes. By dissecting primal taboos, in an unprecedently graphic manner, it became the progenitor of the blood-spilling splatter movies of the modern cinema. This book examines the Grand Guignol's history, themes and methods, summarizing the plots and providing the texts of two typical plays.
