-'''Théâtre Antoine-Simone Berriau''' is a theater located at 14 boulevard de Strasbourg in the [[10th arrondissement of Paris]].+
- +
-The 800-seat theater was built, in Italian style, in 1866. It functioned under a variety of names through the years, opening as '''Theatre des Menus-Plaisirs''' (1866–1874, 1877–1879, 1882–1888), then '''Théâtre des Arts''' (1874–1876, 1879–1881), '''Opéra-Bouffe''' (1876–1877), and the '''Comédie-Parisienne''' (1881).+

-==Théâtre-Libre (1888-1897) and Théâtre-Antoine (1897-1906)==+
-In 1888 it became the venue for the [[Théâtre Libre]] company of [[André Antoine]]. Although short-lived, lasting only eight years, the theater's pioneering [[Naturalism (theatre)|naturalism]] proved extremely influential. Antoine departed in 1894 under financial pressure, the enterprise closed in 1896, but Antoine returned the following year to the renamed '''Théâtre Antoine''' with a more deliberately provocative program that lasted until 1906.+
- +
-==From 1943 onwards==+
-The theater now bears the name of actress and director Simone Berriau, who presented the complete dramatic work of [[Jean-Paul Sartre]] here beginning in 1943. For instance the first production of his 1951 ''[[The Devil and the Good Lord]]'' opened here, directed by [[Louis Jouvet]]. On her death in 1984 her daughter Helena Bossis took charge; since the death of Bossis in 2008, her husband Daniel Dares has served as director.+
