La troupe - The Company

This is the tenth time Word for Word has taken a show to France, and it has now become an institution in itself and has cultivated many loyal fans across the sea.
When Wolff saw Word for Word's production of his stories, he exclaimed, "I wish they would do all my stories !" So if you happen to be in France, come see for yourself why the LA Times calls Word for Word "an author's best friend."

"Their brilliant inventiveness in performance, choreography, and staging, has created a new art form, and a deeply affecting experience.
I honestly believe that you could not find a more imaginative, energetic, and emotionally well-tuned ensemble."
-- Tobias Wolff, award-winning author.

"Forget books on tape. Word for Word puts books on stage, and does so with a skill, intelligence and insight that live up to the group's slogan: 'We bring literature to life.'"
-- Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Examiner.

Word for Word is a professional theatre company that stages short stories, performing every word the author has written, and thus preserving his/her voice and honoring the writer's intent. Literature is brought to life through inventive staging and exciting visual effects. Word for Word states its goals as being "to excite people about the written word, to inspire them to read more, to create new audiences for the theatre, and to share the world's diverse cultures and stories". As one of their company members says: "It's like being read to. While it's fully literary in content, it's completely theatrical in form."

Une réaction écrite ...

Merci beaucoup d'avoir organisé ce spectacle.
J'ai été (ainsi que mon fils) très impressionné par la qualité du jeu des acteurs, par l'adaptation remarquable de la nouvelle, par le rythme de la mise en scène.
Vraiment ce fut un spectacle de très haut niveau.
Et en plus les comédiennes avec qui j'ai eu l'occasion de discuter sont vaiment très sympas.
Merci donc à vous deux.
