15th ANNUAL FRENCH PLAY
NATIONAL FRENCH WEEK 2011
LA FARCE DE MAITRE PATHELIN
Written in the 15th-century, this anonymous farce was very popular in medieval times. It influenced popular playwrights and writers like Rabelais. It features hilarious misadventures and a loveable cast of misfits, including the trickster Pathelin and his accomplice wife Guillemette, the conniving merchant Guillaume Joceaulme, and the wisest fool of them all, Thibaut L'Agnele.
