YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 22, ARMENPRESS: A play by a 19-th century French
playwright, Alfred de Musset, called Marianne’s Whims (Un Caprice
de Marianne) was translated into Armenian and will be staged by two
Armenian theaters on October 4, 5 and 7 within the frameworks of the
French Festival in Armenia and the Year of Armenia in France.

A French Armenian theater director, Serge Avedikian, invited to stage
the play, said at a news conference today that the Armenian culture
ministry and the French embassy in Yerevan financed the Armenian
translation of the play.

Avedikian said the idea was to do the play through a modern approach
first in Armenia and then to show it in France next year. Alfred de
Musset wrote the play in 1833.
