As a result, the Comédie Française was born, which is also known as the “house of Molière”. Naturally, the theater hosted almost all the plays of the most famous comic playwright, putting in the oldest French theater plays by Diderot, Voltaire, Beaumarchais. Comédie Française, unlike most European theaters, does not work on the principle of entreprise. Here they stage a variety of productions: from ancient comedies to plays by modern playwrights. Moreover, for performances are often invited famous foreign directors, for example, Peter Fomenko staged in the theater play “Forest” based on the work of Ostrovsky.
