La Grande Librairie from Le Théâtre du Rond-Point
| The last transmission of the France 5
bookshow La grande librarie was a special, from the Théâtre
du Rond-Point in Paris, with actors reading passages from their
favourite books. It was a programme from which I could quote every item.
And on this page I may well do so. The first extract below has already been quoted in the People section, and I include it here for completeness. The complete programme has been archived |

François Morel et Guillaume Gallienne doing a parody af the affected conversation of two Parisian theatregoers. Is François Morel deliberately imitating Fabrice Luchini ? or is there a whole class of people in Paris who speak like that ? |

Théâtre sans animaux
- Neuf pièces is the title of a book by Jean-Michel Ribes. Again, the target is the classic theatre, with the reaction of a long-suffering husband to the alexandrines of Racine. This is a long extract - 9 minutes. But what a wonderful party piece ! |
