Heaving bosoms, horny men and dodgy bastards!

A Night of French Mayhem was a double bill consistingt Anders Falstie-Jensen’s The Rehearsal, a modern adaptation of Molière’s The Rehearsal at Versailles set in present day Auckland, and Molière’s classic comedy Two Precious Maidens Ridiculed set in 17th century Paris.

The Rehearsal was a biting satire on the New Zealand theatre scene and the haphazard and often chaotic nature of producing theatre. Recently returned from an inspiring backpacking odyssey through Peru, theatre director, Gilroy Cuthbert, is an artist on a mission: to make edgy and innovative theatre.

With Two Precious Maidens Ridiculed Molière beat the writers of Sex and The City to it by 350 years. It’s the classic one act comedy that all others should be measured against.
