La Double Inconstance

Marivaux brilliantly directed by Jean-Paul Tribout.

About

Sylvia is forcibly abducted for the Prince's «pleasure». Her «defeated» couple will give birth to two, creating a double inconstancy. With two marriages at stake, the outcome could be a happy one... but it's not certain that the newly-formed couples will really enjoy it!

A fast-paced, elegant and graceful story full of pretence and manipulation by Marivaux.

Bravo for an effective production and energetic acting! A complex marivaudage that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Thank you for an excellent evening.

What a great evening!

Excellent actors for a funny, fine text. The language is already modern and engaging.

An excellent piece of theatre. It's a real pleasure to hear the chiselled dialogue delivered by actors who convey to the audience their pleasure at performing this lovely play. Beautifully staged.

Press coverage

LE FIGARO «Jean-Paul Tribout delivers a joyful production with a greedy and endearing Harlequin and a charming and lively Sylvia, beautifully indecisive. A perfect marivaudage».»

TÉLÉRAMA TT «Full of rhythm and humour, the play seems a pleasure to perform for the fine troupe of actors who take it on. Most of them are young, and they make you want to rediscover the whole of Marivaux!»

LE PARISIEN «Jean-Paul Tribout, always with his moustache in the wind, directs «La double inconstance» with freshness and a certain amusement.»

AT A GLANCE  «Behind the marivaudage lies a critique of society and men. The staging is quicksilver. The theatre is at its most festive.»

AU BALCON.FR «Grace and elegance: a classic mounted with such purpose and such judicious bias.»
