When I went to run a few errands yesterday, I happened upon a stage. Remember it's Molière Month? Well, this was amateur theatre near the covered market, a loose adaptation of Tennessee Williams' works, called "sur la route de Tennessee", i.e. on the road to Tennessee. It was actually quite good stuff, by l'Atelier
Théâtre des Deux Rives.
------------------
En allant faire quelques courses hier dans la chaleur écrasante, voici que je découvre une scène de théâtre amateur aux Halles Notre-Dame. Cette adaptation de textes de Tennessee Williams par l'Atelier
Théâtre des Deux Rives m'a permis de passer un moment agréable, quoique chaud.
How fun to just come across something like this! The man in the second photo looks kind of Johnny Deppish - that would be enough to make me stop :)
ReplyDeleteDid someone say Johnny Depp? This is what I call "street theatre".
ReplyDelete«Louis» remembers that Molière was a friend of Nicolas Fouquet and performed his plays at Fouquet's Vaux-le-Vicomte, including on the night Louis XIV had Fouquet arrested.
ReplyDeleteOh what fun to come across a play in progress like this. Keep 'em coming. MB
ReplyDeleteA very nice set and an interesting performance... and I really hate that kind of hat!
ReplyDeleteça ne doit pas être vident de jouer dans la rue comme ça!
ReplyDeletej'ai appris un nouvel adjectif , aujourd'hui: "johnny deppish"..c'est énorme! Ü
Bon dimanche!
Love the experience you had and what fun captures. I went to the theater last night--no spontaneity on my part, but plenty on the part of the actors.
ReplyDeletecomme tu écoutes en faisant tes courses si ça te déplais achètes quelques tomates
ReplyDeleteI'll meet you in Everett---maybe we can get a ride on a sailboat. MB
ReplyDeleteI'm not brave enough to take photos of people; these are beautiful!
ReplyDeletedu Molière américain ;o) surement un bon moment, mais c'est vrai que c'est plus sympa de voir ça dans un théâtre avec la climatisation ;o)
ReplyDeleteIt must have been fun to watch, and the price was right, so who cares how good it was or wasn't.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that they enjoy what they do... :)
ReplyDeleteGod bless you!

This kind of thing is so rare here! What great fun. I would think, though, the actors would have to be on top of their game to do theater in the open air.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it was good theatre. It looks fun. Nice spot of orange there!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteComme quoi les courses mènent à tout !
ReplyDeleteWonderful experience to see street amateur theatre!
ReplyDeleteformidable cette situation, beaucoup de personne; non pas les moyens d'aller au théâtre ou Pourquoi personne ne s'intéresse au théâtre et pourtant c'est très enrichissant ? Les photos nous offre une belle scène.
ReplyDeleteAvait elle l'accent chantant du Sud?...
