A British Council-sponsored season of English plays being produced in Paris has been shaking up intellectual French audiences who aren’t quite sure what to make of the “crude language” and campy acting. “To French audiences, the British season has often been disorientating. Should, for instance, they take seriously the camp acting in the Kaos Company’s “Importance of Being Earnest”? Or learn to laugh at Oscar Wilde, an author popular in France as a symbol of resistance to tyrannical British officialdom?” – The Times (UK)
