Moliere’s The Miser or the Scrooge (l’Avare), Ranelagh Theatre<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Margot presented a fascinating workshop on Moli\u00e8re<\/strong> the other day. We learned facts, chronological dates, the synopsis of a play and outtakes from the script. She was preparing us for one of the nine Moli\u00e8re plays currently running in Paris.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moli\u00e8re’s “L’Avare<\/strong>” (The Miser\/The Scrooge) is playing at the Ranelagh Th\u00e9\u00e2tre<\/a> in Paris until May 18, 2019. The language of Moli\u00e8re is spoken (French). For those who wish to coordinate sound with English, supertitles<\/a> are available with Th\u00e9\u00e2tre in Paris<\/strong><\/a>. You pay a bit more for this translation service, ideal seating, and a program in English than you would buying through the theatre booking systems.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moli\u00e8re has been creeping into my French learning over the years. There is the play that sits only half-read on my bookshelf; the movie of conflicts involving Moli\u00e8re and Louis XIV, Le Roi danse<\/a> , the one-man show “Moli\u00e8re in Spite of Myself<\/a>” that Th\u00e9\u00e2tre in Paris translated in 2017. On a Saturday afternoon, I am off to see l’Avare at Ranelagh with Margot’s notes in hand.

More Paris theatre for your visit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another advantage with Theatre in Paris besides translation is awareness. When you visit a city do you know where to look for entertainment? The Theatre in Paris website is a quick reference to find Parisian French theatre, music, dance, comedy, mime or acrobatics, with or without dialogue.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently with Th\u00e9\u00e2tre in Paris, classic and new French plays with supertitles at historic Parisian theatres are Cyrano de Bergerac<\/strong> (Theatre Ranelagh); Le Pr\u00e9nom<\/strong> (Hello My Name Is) at the Edouard VII<\/a>; and La L\u00e9gende d’une vie<\/strong> (Legend of a Life) at the Montparnasse<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is Moli\u00e8re<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In his time, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin<\/a><\/strong> was the funny, satirical, confrontational and fearless social critic, creator of modern French comedy; a playwright, actor, director and producer. Moli\u00e8re lived from 1622-1673. Annually, actors vie for the Moli\u00e8re theatre award. The French language is termed \u201cla langue de Moli\u00e8re\u201d. Many of his phrases are still used in current French.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
