Chantecler (play)

Maude Adams in Chantecler

Chantecler is a verse play in four acts written by Edmond Rostand.[1][2] The play is notable in that all the characters are farmyard animals including the main protagonist, a chanticleer, or rooster. The play centers on the theme of idealism and spiritual sincerity, as contrasted with cynicism and artificiality. Much of the play satirizes modernist artistic doctrines from Rostand's romanticist perspective.
