edit data

Before becoming a playwright, Jean-Claude Grumberg held several jobs, including working as a tailor. This work provided the setting for his best-known play, L'Atelier. He discovered drama as an actor in a theatrical company. His career as a writer began in 1968 with Demain, une fenêtre sur rue, and short theatrical pieces such Rixe, which was staged at the Comédie-Française. In several of his works, he has written about what has haunted him since childhood: the death of his father in the Nazi death camps: Maman revient pauvre orphelin, Dreyfus (1974), L'Atelier (1979) and Zone libre (1990).

In 1998, L'Atelier returned to Théâtre Hébertot in Paris, achieved great success, and won the 1999 Molière for best play direction.

Quotes by Jean-Claude Grumberg (?)

“La paix est bonne pour tout le monde.”
― Jean-Claude Grumberg, Marie des Grenouilles

“La grenouille (précipitamment) : Amène-moi à la cour du roi, je suis là depuis un siècle, c'est humide tu ne peux pas savoir, nauséabond avec ça, et très mal fréquenté ! Ça grouille de cracra là-dedans, ça chante, ça s'empiffre de petites bêtes immondes !
Marie : O joie ! Vite, mon prince donne ta bouche que je la baise et te délivre.
La grenouille : Non non non non, je préfère qu'on fasse cela dans les règles en présence de la cour, du roi et de la princesse.
Marie : Le roi, hélas, est mort ce soir.
La grenouille : Chouette, ainsi régnerai-je illico. Comment est la fille du roi ? A-t-elle beau visage et large croupe ? La dote ? Comment est la dote ? Le royaume est-il bien prospère ?
Marie (l'interrompant) : La fille du roi, c'est moi.”

“Ainsi, au fil des premiers âges, tantôt grenouilles, tantôt humains, les plus belliqueux d'entre tous régnèrent sur l'un et l'autre monde, l'aquatique et le terrestre. Bientôt la discorde régna par tout, tant sur la terre ferme que sur les étangs.”
― Jean-Claude Grumberg, Marie des Grenouilles
