Georges Neveux

Georges Neveux was a French dramatist and poet. Neveux's first notable work was the play Juliette ou la clé des songes, written in 1927 and produced in 1930. It became the basis of Theodor Schaefer's 1934 melodrama Julie aneb Snar for piano, jazz instruments, and small orchestra; for Bohuslav Martinů's 1937 opera Julietta, and for the 1951 film Juliette, or Key of Dreams. During the 1930s, when he was general secretary of the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, he wrote little.
