THÉÂTRE LIBRE

tāätˈrə lēbˈrə, French theatrical company founded in Paris in 1887 by André Antoine. Inspired by the work of the Meiningen Players, Antoine's theater became a showcase for naturalist drama. Plays of Zola, Becque, Brieux, and of contemporary German, Scandinavian, and Russian masters were produced. The Théâtre Libre became a model for experimental theaters throughout Europe and the United States.

See S. M. Waxman, Antoine and the Théâtre-Libre (1926).
