Les Tréteaux
Les « Tréteaux » (The Boards) is a touring entertainment with an educational aim. It is usually made of a series of sketches and a single-act play. The show's small logistic allows to perform for Francophile and French-speaking organisations who have requested it. « Les Tréteaux » respects the CDF's not-for-profit policy: the only request made to the organisations welcoming the show is a share on transports and administrative expenses.

« Belle Epoque » (2010)
In May and June 2010, « Les Tréteaux » were delighted to perform for the French clubs of the Greater London area. The group was glad to present « Belle Epoque », a show made of 2 short plays taken from the French-speaking repertoire.

« Badin », from Georges Courteline :

If lazyness were a behaviour too generally stigmatized without enough concern for its cause?

Enter the implacable world of office life in an administration; Ms. Badin, simple office worker, has not shown up for a fortnight, without explanation. One morning, she re-appears and is summoned by her Line Manager. Remonstrances? Dismissal?...

« Léonie est en avance ou le mal joli », de Georges Feydeau :

Léonie is about to give birth... a little early.
Her parents have chosen this very appropriate moment to settle old scores with Toudoux, their son-in-law, whilst their daughter struggles against a very peculiar midwife...
What did the audience think?
« (...)I just wanted to say a big "thank you" to you and all your cast for giving us such an excellent evening last night. We thoroughly enjoyed your performance and as I said it was a first for our circle - and not the last!!! » - Le Cercle Français de Southend - 2010

« (...)On behalf of the Cercle Dramatique of Chelmsford, I would like to thank you for an excellent evening last Friday. Our members were truly delighted to attend your [2009] show which was a huge success in our opinion. » - Le Cercle Français de Chelmsford

« (...)It was about time I sent you this email to thank you for the excellent and memorable evening that you gave us on Friday [with your 2009 show]. It was very entertaining and I thought the choice of sketches was very good. Some got me thinking... and I am probably not the only one. » - Le Cercle Français de High Wycombe
