Traveler Without Luggage
Birmingham Repertory Theatre, 1961

Traveler was written by Jean Anouilh in 1936, the last of a series of plays which denounces the fettering of the individual by family ties.  A beautifully constructed presentation of the complexity of personalities, it concerns the war victim who has lost his memory and who refuses to accept his real identity when he suddenly realizes that he has been a man of repellent character.  In idea and mood, this “piece noire” demonstrates a close link between Anouilh and Pirandello
