••• I'm taking a year off on the drama front, too busy on other fronts.

|| RECENTLY ||

••• I've been "Robert", a joyful little part in "La Poudre aux Yeux" of Eugene Labiche, a comedy directed by Pierre de Moro, June 8th and 9th last, at Palais de la Culture, Puteaux, France.

••• Still with Pierre de Moro as both director and main character Alceste, a modernised version of Molière's "Le Misanthrope". I was "Philinte", May 26th 2016, same place.

|| AND PRIOR TO THAT ||

••• I've been "John Brownlow" in William Gouglas Home's "The Secretary Bird" (2014), Le Comte in Marivaux' "La Seconde Surprise de l'Amour" (2012), Lélio in Marivaux' "La Fausse Suivante" (2011), Maurice in Jules Renard's "Le Plaisir de Rompre" (2009), Trivelin in Marivaux' "La Double Inconstance" (2008), Lubin in Molière's "George Dandin" (2007), Sganarelle in Molière's "Le Mariage Forçé" (2006), etc ...

••• "Gallien" is a 5 act french tragedy, finely written by a young friend of mines, Julien Bouchard-Madrelle. Two ex-"Comédie Française" figures are involved: Colette Louvois, directing, and Pierre de Moro Giafferi as "Claude". Added to the talented cast, we've enjoyed great performance by established professionals such as Wally Bajeux, Pierre Hentz and Marie-Thérèse Roy.
