Our next French night will host a play by Philippe Malone, 

http://www.theatre-video.net/video/Septembres-de-Philippe-Malone-Le-contexte-artistique

a french writer and photographer 

who works a lot in urban and peri-urban neighborhood.

He has written 15 plays, 

some of which were preformed on stage and on radio. 

The titles reveal his concern 

about the issues our consumers society brings up. 

- Septembres - Krach - 

Lost in a supermarket - Bien lotis

Bien lotis, 2013,  the play we are going to read on stage, 

is a "peri-urban epic", a "social comedy" 

which is based on the interview of a couple

 who lived in a project and then moved to their own private house, 

as their financial and social situation improved. 

"Bien lotis", which is almost impossible to translate, 

means that

they had a good house and

that they were successful 

and got their part of the cake.

The play has 40 short scenes  which "attempt to highlight the great peri-urban epic through a blend of quizzes, commentaries and flashbacks briskly conducted by a journalist."
