André Barsacq (24 January 1909 – 8 July 1973) was a French theatre director, producer, scenic designer, and playwright.

[2] At the age of 15 he traveled to Paris to study at the School of Decorative Arts and lived in France from then on.

In 1928 he was at the Théâtre de l'Atelier working with its director, Charles Dullin on productions which included Jules Romains's 1923 play Knock.

[3] As director of the Théâtre de l'Atelier he introduced Parisian audiences to the plays of Ugo Betti, Félicien Marceau, Marcel Ayme (The Moon Birds), Françoise Sagan, René de Obaldia, and Friedrich Dürrenmatt.

[4] Barsacq was a great admirer of Jean Anouilh and beginning with Le Bal des voleurs at Théâtre des Arts in 1938 produced almost all his plays, including, at some personal risk, the subversive Antigone in 1944 during the Nazi occupation.
