3.5 Hrs of (French) Shakespeare

On Monday I finally went to La Comedie Francaise, and saw Les Joyeuses Commeres de Windsor, par William Shakespeare.  Not only was it Shakespeare, but it was in French.  It takes a great actor to clearly communicate across that double barrier!  And great they were. 

Beforehand, I got lost and found myself in some kind of  modern "garden" - it was full of small posts, green lights, and underground rivers.  I am still confused by this place, and must go back!

 The entrance to La Comedie Francaise, and the eager audience waiting outside. 

This comedy was clearly portrayed thanks to the actors' use of their BODIES.  Every single character had a precise (and hilarious) way of moving and speaking.  I guffawed many a time and was thrilled by the amount of physicality, slapstick, etc. 
All in all....in a word, inspirational!  :)
