    Origins
    Just a small expansion on a point raised in the previous review: Anouilh's Antigone was first performed as a stage play in 1944 - the WW2 background is important. The question of whether Anouilh was influenced by La Ronde still stands, however, as that play was first performed in 1920, although written some 20 years earlier. (No marking given as I have not seen the production and I assume it is not available.)
