Anybody know what play this is?

[amanspice]

I saw a theatre play when I was in grade 4. The costumes and setting kind of reminded me of the same as Les Miserables. I remember one scene where two people are fighting with big baguette bread sticks. It was funny at times, but I also think somebody dies at some point and it made me cry. Does anybody know what theatre play this is? TIA.

Doesn't ring a bell. What year was this?

"The Aristocrats"?


(sorry)


But it does sound like a bizarre reinterpretation of Les Mis that would have amused Victor Hugo...

I doubt even the most obsessed theatre fan could figure out what play you're talking about from that description.

Er...I don't know and the baguette thing may be a fantasy of the mise en scène.

I don't know but there are rumors of earthquakes near the Panthéon

Off the top of my head it sounds as if it was a French farce ala Moliere.
Perhaps "The Physician in Spite of Himself" but that's only because of the death. Many French farces had fake deaths as well.

The baguette fight would have been the directors staging of a scene, most likely, but would fit with FF.

Good lick on narrowing it down to the correct one.
