Jean Marie Lucien Pierre Anouilh [June 23, 1910-October 3, 1987] was a French dramatist who included among his literary output his modernistic play 'Antigone'. Anouilh's version was an updated, retelling of the play of the same name by Sophocles [496 B.C.E.* - 406 B.C.E.], a famed ancient Greek playwright.
Anouilh didn't limit his creativity on the stage to the penning of tragedies. In fact, he described himself as the author of seven types of plays. He identified his plays as aristocratic, baroque, fantastic, historical, realistic/tragic, sarcastic, or unsuccessful.
