Jean Cocteau Repertory
Jean Cocteau Repertory (often called "the Cocteau" or "Cocteau Rep") was a nonprofit resident theatre company in the Bowery area of East Village, Manhattan in New York City.
==History==
"The Cocteau" was founded in 1971 by Eve Adamson, who named it in honor of French playwright, director and artist Jean Cocteau Jean Cocteau Repertory had a reputation for serious and respectful productions of classical plays. In 2006, under new leadership, the company abandoned its name, its longtime location and its established style.
Jean Cocteau Repertory's first home was on Bond Street near the Bowery. Adamson envisioned a permanent acting ensemble that would perform classical plays in rotating repertory. Actors in the company were cast in both large and small roles and, in the theatre's early years, they also served alongside the founder as staff members. Adamson, who remained artistic director until 1989, directed more than 100 productions of plays by a wide range of playwrights for the company.
The Cocteau's opening season included a play by Cocteau, ''Orphée'', in addition to works by William Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde. In 1973, the company implemented the repertory format it maintained in subsequent decades, and received some of its first wide acclaim for a production of Samuel Beckett's ''Waiting for Godot''. In 1974, the company moved into the 140-seat Bouwerie Lane Theater, where it remained until 2006. In 1981, Tennessee Williams chose the Cocteau to premiere his new play ''Something Cloudy, Something Clear''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://archives.nypl.org/the/18406 )〕
