Excerpt from Le Diable, Marchand de Goutte: Pièce Populaire en Trois Actes
Il y a dans le village où je vais d'abord descendre une famille ancienne, riche et solidement unie par les liens du devoir et de l'obéissance. Elle pourrait s'opposer à mon oeuvre. Je m'attaquerai d'abord à elle je sèmerai la division entre le père et les fils. Le plus jeune s'enivrera il sera maudit par son père; et pour que le vieux refuse de pardonner, je le prendrai par l'orguei1, qui tue la pitié.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, the first attempt of an ambitious undertaking, explores the creation of a grassroots theatre troupe in a remote village in the mountains of eastern France where there is no theater, stage, actors, or audience. The author, who is also the protagonist, narrates his experience as he teaches the villagers to act and tells how they come together to create a homegrown performance of his play that tackles the universal theme of alcoholism and its devastating effects on the community and family. The author has written a play examining the consequences of unchecked drinking in a rural community where the lure of foreign liquor threatens the well-being of its people. With nuanced characters facing moral dilemmas, the play touches on social justice, family dynamics, and the eternal struggle against temptation. The author mingles hope with despair and human weakness with resilience to capture the unique spirit of the community, while showcasing the transformative power of art.
