BRIDGE BETWEEN TIMES : REVIVALS OF THE CLASSICS
Echange Theatre Company aspires to create and promote the theatrical heritage
of the French language in English. This can include any classical author
writing in the French language whom we wish to re-interpret with a more
contemporary approach, and in English. The identity of French-speaking theatre is
unique, and together with our team we wish to bring this across the channel
to English audiences. Because the relevance to the world today of some plays
in the French, Creole or African French-speaking repertoire is very real but neglected.
