Martin Crimp est un dramaturge britannique réputé pour l'âpreté de ses dialogues et un ton de détachement émotionnel. Ses œuvres explorent souvent une perspective sombre des relations humaines, où les personnages éprouvent rarement l'amour ou la joie. De plus en plus, l'attention de Crimp s'est déplacée vers la forme et le langage théâtral, s'éloignant des préoccupations narratives traditionnelles. Son style distinctif offre une exploration stimulante et provocatrice de la connexion humaine.
Affublé d'un nez proéminent qui l'empêche de déclarer à sa cousine l'amour qu'il éprouve pour elle, Cyrano est un homme d'une noblesse rare : il aidera son rival, qu'il sait aimé de la belle, à la conquérir. Rostand a signé avec cette comédie héroïque un chef-d'oeuvre de la littérature universelle.

" Je peux planter un bâton, il prendra ", dit Tchékhov, parlant de ses dons de jardinier. De la même façon, il plante ses personnages autour d'une table et les voilà aussitôt qui jaillissent de la scène, comme d'un terreau. " Les gens dînent, ils ne font que dîner et pendant ce temps s'édifie leur bonheur ou se brise leur vie. " La Mouette, par exemple, où le temps n'en finit pas de s'écouler, où l'amour n'est jamais payé de retour, s'achève même sur une tragédie. Jardinier des lettres, Tchékhov sème des mots simples, de petites graines grises, sans odeur ni saveur particulières et ô miracle, nous les voyons fleurir comme en rêve, prendre des couleurs d'une tendresse surnaturelle. Et dans le silence, ce que nous entendons, c'est la musique de l'âme.
