Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia, Hutchinson | 0.04 sec. |
Grand GuignolShort plays of violence, horror, and sadism popular in 20th-century Parisian cabarets. The name probably derives from the violent plots that featured the puppet Guignol. The plays were performed mainly at the Théâtre du Grand Guignol from 1897 to 1962. The genre was introduced into England in 1908, but it remained mainly a Parisian theatrical form.
