Théodore Barrière (born April 16, 1821 or April 16, 1823 in Paris , † October 16, 1877 there ) was a French playwright.

Life

Barrière had only been involved in geographic work for a long time in the French Ministry of Education, but devoted his leisure hours to dramatic work at an early stage and was immediately lucky with his first piece: La Boisière , which was performed in the Palais Royal in 1843 .

He then joined other already well-known playwrights and has since enriched the French stage with countless plays, some of which were very well received.

reception

Barrière was one of the most important and versatile dramatic talents of his time, particularly strong in satire, which had a peculiarly bitter aftertaste to him. His play Les faux bonshommes was considered one of the most dramatic portrayals of customs of the Second Empire ; his Malheur aux vaincus was censored and banned after the premiere.

The type of reasoning, who accompanies the action like a moralizing chorus in many modern pieces of French theater, comes from him: his desgenais remained the recognized model of this grateful theater figure .
