'L'Assassinat de Henri IV' by Jacques Malaterre

Sumptuous costumes, breathtaking locations, taking us from royal palaces in Fontainebleau to gardens in Versailles. The fantastically helpful cast & crew made this my first real job in France an unforgettable and hugely enjoyable experience.
Getting to grips with the vocabulary was the first hurdle. Twisted ruffs, baggy tights and mislaid swords were an occupational hazard in the court of Henri 1V - but the french cast were delightful and took it ( and me) in their stride.
