- It was not obvious from the start that Pierre Alcover, a hefty John Blunt, would become a stage and movie actor. In fact he seems to be one of his kind for they are few those who made the transition from warehouseman at Les Halles (Paris' traditional central market) to winner of a first prize at the Conservatoire de Paris. But Alcover was both able to carry a 200 kilo load on his broad back as to tell the lines of famous playwrights on the boards of l'Odéon, the prestigious theater where he debuted in 1916. On the silver screen, his imposing stature and his gruff tone predisposed him to violent roles, on either side of the law. He was either a bandit (L'affaire du courrier de Lyon (1937), Life Dances On (1937) Louis Jouvet 's accomplices) or a cop (the inefficient policeman in Marcel Carné's comedy Drôle de drame (1937), also with Jouvet). A bad boy (in Fritz Lang's only French film Liliom (1934)), a head spy (in Jacques Robert's La chèvre aux pieds d'or (1925), En plongée (1926), a convict (with a heart) in the touching La petite Lise (1930) directed by Jean Grémillon, he was the head warden in Criminel (1933), the French version of The Criminal Code (1930), the chief of the Czar's police in Pierre Billon's Au service du tsar (1936) and even Sanson the executioner in Sous la terreur (1935)! Anyway, whether a lawbreaker or a law enforcer, Pierre Alcover brought the same conviction (no pun intended) to the role he was given to play. One of the great character actors of the 1920s and 1930s.

Having obtained his baccalaureate in 1936, Serreau went to Paris to enter the Beaux-Arts in the architecture section. He was discharged in 1939 because he lost an eye following an illness. Under the cover of theatrical teaching, he took part in the Resistance in Lyon. In 1942 he returned to Paris to complete his studies, and took lessons from Charles Dullin. In 1944, he was one of the creators of the association Travail et Culture, which campaigned for an education and a popular culture based on the union. In 1949 he created a company in his name and staged, among others, Molière, Brecht (l'Exception et la Ordre in 1949, the first Brecht staged in France since 1930), Kafka, Vian and Jarry. He allowed Roger Blin to create Waiting for Godot in his Théâtre de Babylone, in 1953, and staged "La Maison Brûlée" by Strindberg, in an adaptation by Boris Vian. He gives new authors a chance: Michel Vinaver, Marguerite Duras, Max Frisch. He introduced Brecht into the repertoire of the Comédie-Française, and staged Mère Courage at Jean Vilar's TNP. He is one of the first French directors to broaden, through audiovisual contributions, the framework of his stage shows.
He also became the spokesperson for the Third World by staging plays by Kateb Yacine "Le Cadavre Encerclé" (1958), Aimé Césaire "La Tragédie du Roi Christophe" (1964), or by playing "Les Bonnes" by Jean Genet by a West Indian troupe. In 1971 he founded the Théâtre de la Tempête at the Cartoucherie de Vincennes, where in 1973 he gave his last production, Le Printemps des bonnets rouges, by the Breton poet Paol Keineg. He died in Paris in 1973, after a long illness. A documentary directed by Alexandre Hilaire is dedicated to him in 2015: entitled "Jean-Marie Serreau, Discoverer of Theaters", the film focuses on his collaborations with Aimé Césaire and Kateb Yacine; there appear in particular Coline Serreau, Michael Lonsdale and Edgar Morin. A Serreau retrospective took place in 2021-2022, on the occasion of installations at the Théâtre de la Tempête and the Comédie-Française.
