PLAYWRIGHT DATABASE |
 |
Les Aventures de Nathalie Nicole Nicole | Marion Aubert |
| It is the story of a little girl possessed by her own demons. Press clippings, letters, sketches, lies, scalpels and declarations ― all have been useful in dissecting Nathalie. |
« It is innovative, witty, funny, fast-paced and whimsical ― a fine play that is meant to be heard on stage. » Cédric Enjalbert, Les Trois Coups, January 2008 |

Si j'avais su j'aurais fait des chiens | Stanislas Cotton |
| Angéline, at eighteen inherited her mother’s broom and mop, along with other people’s dirt. To get away from her troubles, she enlists in the army. But her bad luck sticks to her... |
« Stanislas Cotton’s striking play is raw, violent, funny about things that are monstrous and moving about things that are distressing. » Vincent Goethals, director of the play |

Vers toi Terre promise Tragédie dentaire | Jean-Claude Grumberg |
| The little boy narrator remembers his all-too-frequent visits to the dentist with his mother after the war. But there’s pain and pain, and the dentist and his wife are going through a far more painful personal tragedy. |

Dialogue d'un chien avec son maître | Jean-Marie Piemme |
| A stray dog meets a hotel doorman who has been forced to live in a trailer next to the motorway due to hard times. The dog wants to settle down but his master doesn’t. They clash in a comic philosophical debate on poverty and the state of the world. |
« This philosophical fable grabs you for and hour and forty minutes, with no lulls, just enough to catch your breath between laughs. » Midi Libre, 21 July 2008 |

LABOO7 | A European Project for a network of contemporary theatre for children and young people |
The European LABO07 project has writing for young people and playwrights at its core. We must therefore establish a solid reading committee in France that is capable of taking as broad a perspective as possible while also assuming responsibility for its own subjective choices. |
