the discreet charm of the strasbourgoisie?
Every time we come to France I realise that I have completely forgotten about French Theatre technicians. We are playing the National Theatre of Strasbourg, and while the technicians couldn't be more plentiful or pleasant, they all seem to have taken a slowness pill. A show that normally takes about six hours to put in with a couple of technicians, took the best part of fourteen with eight. We have also discovered that the reason that most shows tour their own lighting desks in France, is that few technicians know how to operate the in-house desks effectively. There was a lot of shrugging, head scratching and consultation of the manual going on last night. Still, we managed to put the show on eventually.
