Publication France, Pathe, 2008.
Description 120 min.70 mm; colour
Summary/Abstract A man is charged with murder. He is Pigoil, the aging stage manager at Chansonia, a music hall in a Paris faubourg. His confession is a long flashback to New Year's Eve, 1935, when he discovers his wife is unfaithful and Galapiat, the local mobster, closes the music hall. Over the next few months, Pigoil loses custody of his beloved son, Jo-Jo, and must find work. Pigoil and his pals take over the Chansonia as a co-op; Galapiat is momentarily benign. Their star is the young Douce, a girl from near Lille for whom Galapiat lusts. She in turn falls in love with Milou, a local Red. There are ups and downs, but mostly ups - but what about Jo-Jo and what about the murder?

Misanthrope, Tartuffe and other plays / Moliere; Poquelin, Jean-Baptiste; Slater, Maya(Tr.) 2008  Book
Moliere Book

Publication Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2008.
Description xxix, 367pWhite Spine
Series Oxford World's Classics
Summary/Abstract This volume brings together four verse translations of Moliere's greatest comedies covering the best years of his prolific writing career. Actor, director, and playwright, Moliere (1622-73) was one of the finest and most influential French dramatists, adept at portraying human foibles and puncturing pomposity. The School for Wives was his first great success; Tartuffe, condemned and banned for five years, his most controversial play. The Misanthrope is his acknowledged masterpiece, and The Clever Women his last, and perhaps best-constructed, verse piece. In addition this collection includes a spirited attack on his enemies and a defence of his theatre, in the form of two sparkling short prose plays, The School for Wives Criticized and The Impromptu at Versailles.
