Edouard Bourdet is director of the Théâtre Français, better known as the Comédie Francaise, which is the haughtiest and most famous theatre in the world. Recently the Comédie Franchise was delighted to honor French Playwright Henry Bernstein's Judith. But not, in Bernstein's opinion, to rehearse it properly.
