Theaters In Paris Contrast Old and New Plays
In Paris three national houses the Comedie Francaise the Odeon and the Theatre National Populaire reveal differing temperaments from tradition to modernity. The TNP at Palais de Chaillot seats 3500 with budget prices while Barrault directs the Odeon with a cerebral but lively mix of Shakespeare and modern works. The Comedie Francaise pursues classic fare with recent controversial revivals and staging excesses, signaling a shifting balance between conservatism and reform in French theater.
