              A family affair is a caustic play, by Agnes Jaoui and Jean Pierre Bacri (Cuisines et Dependances, Le Gout des autres), which won the best script award at the Cesar when they adapted it for the big screen.

 

                    Performed alternatively in French and English and produced by Exchange Theatre, the former resident company at the French Institute behind the revival of Jean Paul Sartre's "The Flies" ("Totally Engaging, enthralling to watch" The Scotsman) and creators of the first english translations of one act Feydeau farces.

                  

                    This year at the Drayton Arms, the play takes place in South Kensington at the heart of the Frenchiest London neighbourhood.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Echange Theatre or Exchange Theatre is an international company established in 2006 in London in order to translate and produce unknown or rare French-speaking plays in English. With the use of a strong visual imagery, live music and multilingualism, Exchange Theatre's productions offer a true sensorial experience. Led by David Furlong and Fanny Dulin, the company translated for the first time plays from major French playwrights like Paul Claudel, Georges Feydeau and Xavier Durringer (London and off Broadway) before being resident at the French Institute from 2010 to 2012. Beside the professional company, Echange Theatre created the first amateur drama class in French for French speaking people living in London. We work from our studio space in London Bridge (available for hire) at the heart of London.
