Archives - Ring Round the Moon

by Jean Anouilh
Translated by Christopher Fry

Directed by Ray Aspey

Saturday 16th – Saturday 23rd February 1974 in the Auditorium

A chateau. Music of the dance. Eccentrics. Beautiful ladies. Diana can never be sure which twin is kissing her in the park. No-one can be sure of anything in the delicious ‘charade with music’. It has that rarity for Anouilh — a happy ending — and is as ebullient as the fireworks with which is concludes.
