Written and presented by Gerard Gould
An observer might marvel at the vitality of French Theatre, and yet be puzzled by the absence of modern French plays. In an attempt to discover the underlying causes for this lack of trust in authors, Gerard Gould sought the views of French directors, arts administrators and playwrights. Among those taking part: directors Antoine Vitez
Bernard Sobel , Daniel Mesguish and Ariane Mnouchkine;
General Administrators of the Comedie Francaise Jean-Pierre Vincent and Jean Le Poulin ; critic Pierre Laville ; and playwrights
Jean-Claude Grumberg Arlette Namiand and Bernard Marie Koltes , and Dr Keith Gore of Worcester College, Oxford.
