He finished writing it during the winter of 1941-19421. This biblical tragedy written partly in times of war corresponds above all to a difficult period in the married life of Giraudoux who is considering leaving his wife and leaving the apartment they occupy on the Quai d'Orsay1. Sodom and Gomorrah was created on October 11, 1943 at the Théâtre Hébertot, directed by Georges Douking, with sets and costumes by Christian Bérard, with incidental music by Arthur Honegger and lighting by Boris Kochno. Shortly after the creation of the piece, Jean Giraudoux, who had been living alone in the hotel for several years, was officially the victim of food poisoning and returned one final time to the marital apartment where he died on January 31, 1944. A second interest then arose for the play, and Edwige Feuillère was asked to continue the role for a few more months until the spring of 19442. In total the play will be performed 214 times, the main role of Lia being played from April 10 by her understudy Germaine Delbat until May 1944.
