Gide face au Procès Le récit kafkaïen au double passage de l’écrivain et de Jean-Louis Barrault pour sa transposition scénique

Gide worked closely with Jean-Louis Barrault on several occasions. Kafka's novel adaptation was all about the fulfillment of Gide’s and Barrault’s mutual desires and wishes. In 1942, Gide, - in full translation of Hamlet, - expressed to Barrault his affection for Le Procès. This analysis dealing with Le Procès adaptation is based on Gide’s and Barrault’s correspondence about the staging notes of the theater performance played on 11th of October 1947 at the Marigny Theater, for the first time.
