| 24.11.02 | "La Table" | Jack Shea | The Vietnam war left its mark in more ways than can be imagined. At the Paris Peace Talks in 1968, negotiations fell apart because the delegates could not agree on the shape of the table. The French press referred to this as the "Lunatic Quadrille". While grown men played this childish game of musical chairs, more people were killed than in any other period of that war. The subject is treated in this play with irony, with genuine humour, but also with pathos. | Florence Blondeau,
Lemmy Constantine, Jerry di Giacomo, Ana Knight, Frédéric Le Guern |
