Reviews
The result of her work…is astonishing. Without the help of any disguise or any make-up, she is becoming in front of our eyes, the jealous Arnolphe, the lively Horace, the innocent Agnès, the uncouths Alain and Georgette. When we cherish Molière, we cannot but be moved to see these personalities come to life again (and through a foreign language) by the grace of a single artist.
