Several of Poulenc's scores for plays appear not to have survived. In some cases, we know he re-used material in other works. We're certainly fortunate that the charming incidental music to this and to another play by Jean Anouilh, Léocadia (Time Remembered) have survived... probably because they were made available for rental for productions of the plays.
The 1999 revival by Lincoln Center Theater in New York City (off-campus at the Belasco Theater), with Toby Stephens, Marian Seldes and Fritz Weaver actually used Poulenc's original score, which captures the spirit of the play so beautifully.

Poulenc is really brilliant! My choir sang "Les Tisserands" in quarantine style. Write this in the search: you will surely like it. Corale Novarmonia - Les Tisserands (F. Poulenc)
Basically nowhere, the people in charge of Poulenc's music are making acquiring this (legally or otherwise) almost impossible. I know from experience, unfortunately :(
this such an underrated piece😍😍
