Every second week of July, Exchance Theatre present some work in French and English and this is this year marks the fourth edition.

"LA NUIT DES ROIS"  by William Shakespeare
(Twelfth Night in French)

Shakespeare's last comedy was written as a gift to his company. Not only the twelfth night, it could also be seen as the night of the twelve. Le workshop's oldest students will prove how well deserved the French translation of the title can really be; a night of kings.

EXCHANGE THEATRE NIGHTS

Wednesday 13th and Friday 15th: French Double Bill

Lady Mac Wata by and with Magali Muxart

An actress prepares to play Lady Macbeth. She can’t find her dark and criminal side, and decides to invoke 'Mamie Wata', a witch from her childhood in Africa. Elisa, the cleaner, shows up… The first act of a trip in the schizophrenia of actors and in African mysticism... In French

Ghost Lamp de et avec Julie Drousset

J.D. is being judged for multiple homicide. “Do you have to regret killing your whole family? Has anyone never thought of it?” Through her testimony, she plays all the characters of the massacre and the trial becomes hilarious. In the pale light of a theatre, who can judge her? New writing flirts with great stand up comedy. In French

Tickets: £6.50

Thursday 14th and Saturday 16th: English Double Bill

Dear Wallis de Juliette Quenin

John, the beloved son, died at war. Wallis, his mother, does not want to grieve. Why would she? Reality can be obliterated with alcohol and Dignity, her daughter, can be utilised as a potential and providential psychic. Through the Talking Board, Dignity subtly manipulates Wallis' fears and superstitions. In English

Excusez me de Benedict Cooper

Eleanor speaks English. David speaks French. Eleanor is getting ready for a blind-date, and when David comes to introduce himself as the new tenant, she assumes he is her date. This may just be the best date Eleanor’s ever been on – even if David doesn’t know it yet. English essential, French hysterical! In English

Tickets: £6.50

LE CERCLE DE CRAIE CAUCASIEN By Brecht
(Caucasian Chalk Circle in French)
