Alone on stage: performances by soloist actors at the Comédie-Française
Production of Jean-Louis Laya's L'Ami des lois by the Théâtre de la Nation (the Troupe of the Comédie-Française); the Troupe surrounds the theatre which had been closed by decree. The piece will be banned, as Robespierre and Marat who were portrayed as tyrannical and odious characters were too easily recognisable.
First rehearsal in the théâtre d'études set up by the Administrator Albert Carré, under the vast dome featuring Besnard's ceiling.
Production of Harny de Guerville's La Liberté conquise ou le Despotisme renversé. The audience is packed and enthusiastic, and the performance ends with actors and the audience crying in unison: "Vive le roi ! Vive la Nation !"
