Of the play. The production is
French not merely in its speech
but in its insouciance. It is also
so professional that it neatly
makes the plays traditional
flaw, that it is more mere
comedy narrative than dra-
matte in design.
The production presents a
properly frustrated middle
aged villain in Bernard La
jarrige's Arnolphe, guardian to
buddying, lovely Agnes whom
Arnolphe rearS in such naive
innocence as to make her his
model of the ideal wife. In M.
Marcy's design for the farce,
however, Agnes Is innocent
enough. At the same time, as
played by dark-eyed Nicole De-
surmont. there's something Of
the vulnerable charm school
girls curiosity about her.
She is a positively enthusi-
astic victim of the college fresh
man worldliness of Horace, clad
in slackS and sweater. and the
precisely irresistible type against
whom Arnolphe could never
protect his over-cloiStered ward.
Once this Agnes and Horace
have met, Arnolphe's middle
aged plot is scuttled with every
exuberant intonation of Mo-
Heres laughing irony. 1t is all
there. lean, youthfully attrac-
tive, played with bounce and at
a tempo that is completely en-
gaging.
While the performance of
this trio carry the play, the rest
of the company serve M. Mar
cy's purpose expertly. including
Denise Chauvel and Robert
Sireygeol as the pumpkin serv-
ants.
