“As You Like It” is rarely performed in France, in part because its brand of pastoral fantasy isn’t easy to transpose, but the translator Pierre-Alain Leleu has provided this production with a brilliantly witty French rendition. Bréban, for her part, has a gift for instilling an exhilarating sense of collective rhythm in her actors. There isn’t a dull moment in her Forest of Arden; the relationship between the cousins Rosalind (Barbara Schulz) and Celia (Ariane Mourier) is especially loving and zany.
‘Why did I write? Because I found life unsatisfactory.’
'When I stop working the rest of the day is posthumous. I’m only really alive when I’m writing.’
'At the age of fourteen I discovered writing as an escape from a world of reality in which I felt acutely uncomfortable.’
'I believe the way to write a good play is to convince yourself it is easy to do–then go ahead and do it with ease. Don’t maul, don’t suffer, don’t groan till the first draft is finished. A play is a pheonix and it dies a thousand deaths. Usually at night. In the morning it springs up again from its ashes and crows like a happy rooster. It is never as bad as you think, it is never as good. It is somewhere in between, and success or failure depends on which end of your emotional gamut concerning its value it approaches more closely. But it is much more likely to be good if you think it is wonderful while you are writing the first draft. An artist must believe in himself.’

It’s eerie draw. I am forever fascinated with man-made buildings and structures which once served a specific enough purpose to have incredible man-hours dedicated to their construction, but which were at some point deemed as no longer serving that purpose, and thus abandoned. What an incredible concept. The things that seem so important to us in the moment, or in a period of our lives, may be useless and worthless in another context. Humbling, and a bit mind-bending.
