Comedie Francaise
If "the Play is the Thing," as the Anglo Bard once exclaimed, nowhere is this
better evidenced than in Paris at the historic Comedie Francaise. Situated at the
Palais Royal in the heart of Paris, the Comedie was founded in 1680 by Moliere.
The troupe was given special permission to perform in Paris, literally in the shadow of the Louvre, the former Royal Palace.
Today the newly renovated Comedie Francaise still performs the beloved and hilarious
plays by Moliere such as the Learned Ladies and Misanthrope. Other productions by Jean Racine,
Voltaire and Victor Hugo lead the theatre selections which run throughout the Spring and the Fall.
BRAVO!
