Presented in partnership with the Center for French Civilization and Culture, New York University
Jérôme Deschamps directs and
acts in a series of delightful short
plays by the witty French satirist
and dramatist Georges Courteline,
a contemporary of Georges Feydeau.
Joined by the acclaimed stage actor Michel Fau, Deschamps pokes fun
at human imperfection and the
triviality of everyday life. Packed
with banter and inane arguments,
this performance promises to be
a comical, often insightful study
of human nature.

English supertitles
Reviews
"Alternately funny and naughty, always mischievous, polished, the plays that slam human failings are hilarious thanks to two clowns, Jérôme Deschamps and Michel Fau."—Le Figaro, June 2011
"Characters, situations, texts, lines, all make the audience burst out laughing. This Reading owes a lot to two performers, unique and united."—Figaroscope, June 2011 |
