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.
