Une critique - L'Indépendant - 11 juillet 2010

 

8 juillet de l'an 2010, le spectateur de la Cour de la Madeleine est accueilli dans la demeure de campagne des Hunstanton, famille de lignée aristocratique britannique. Quatre voiles de mousseline blanche sont hissés sur plus de 3mètres de haut. Les courants d'air tout droit venus de la mer semblent vouloirse lover au creux de cette étoffe plus anglo-saxonne que méditerranéenne. Le choc des cultures commence pour notre plus grand plaisir.
 
"Une femme sans importance" est l'affaire d'un théâtre avec un grand T. Portée avec réussite par la compagnie La comédie de la Mansonnière, elle bénéficie d'une mise en scène ingénieuse. Bande-son remarquable, costumes et guêtres pour les hommes, robes longues et chapeaux pour les femmes, justesse du jeu et juste sobriété des décors, l'élégance est de mise. Chaque élément participe à la distinction du spectacle.
 
Pièce écrite en 1894 par Oscar Wilde, elle est à bien des égards fascinante. Outre le drame qui se joue sous nos yeux, elle dépeint une société anglaise écartelée entre modernité et tradition. Transparaît un climat social et politique lié à la révolution industrielle du XIX e siècle, à la menace de la démocratie pour cette aristocratie définitivement tradionnaliste, et à une intelligentsia féminine timidement réfractaire. Quidam de l'ère contemporaine, nous sommes transportés dans le cercle de la haute société. De la haute voltige sur le fond et sur la forme.
 
O. Wilde est servi par des acteurs qui saisissent avec merveille la langue acerbe shakespearienne. Assis sur nos chaises en plastique, nous dégustons notre "cup of tea" sans modération, avec tout le sucre qui va avec. Mouchoir blanc pour essuyer la commissure de nos lèvres, nous avons discrètement essuyé ces larmes qu'on ne peut arrêter... Témoin du drame vécu par Rachel Harbuhtnot, femme sans importance, nous ne souffrons que trop de cette vie brisée par George Hartford, homme sans importance.
 
Le théâtre rejoint alors la pellicule du 7e art pour nous emporter là où souffle le vent de nos sentiments.

Pourquoi la ligne de la récompense pour Madame Biessy est-elle écrite en plus petit que celle de Monsieur Ceillier ? Moi je trouve ça dommage parce que pourtant elle le vaut bien...

The Continuity of the Religious Struggle in Britain
Though England was on the whole prosperous and hopeful, though by couples clothing comparison with her neighbors she enjoyed internal peace, she could not evade the fact that the world of which she formed a part was torn by hatred and strife as fierce as any in human history. Men were still for from recognizing that two religions could exist side by side in the same society; they believed that the toleration of another religion different from their own. And hence necessarily false, must inevitably destroy such a society and bring the souls of all its members into danger of hell. So the struggle went on with increasing fury within each nation to impose a single creed upon every subject, and within the general society of Christendom to impose it upon every nation. In England the Reformers, or Protestants, aided by the power of the Crown, had at this stage triumphed, but over Europe as a whole Rome was beginning to recover some of the ground it had lost after Martin Luther’s revolt in the earlier part of the century. It did this in two ways, by the activities of its missionaries, as in couple matching sweaters
parts of Germany, or by the military might of the Catholic Powers, as in the Low Countries, where the Dutch provinces were sometimes near their last extremity under the pressure of Spanish arms. Against England, the most important of all the Protestant nations to reconquer, military might was not yet possible because the cosmetic tools Catholic Powers were too occupied and divided: and so, in the 1570’s Rome bent her efforts, as she had done a thousand years before in the days of Saint Augustine, to win England back by means of her missionaries.
These were young Englishmen who had either never given up the old faith, or having done so, had returned to it and felt called to become priests. There being, of course, no Catholic seminaries left in England, they went abroad, at first quite easily, later with difficulty and danger, to study in the English colleges at Douai or Rome: the former established for the training of ordinary or secular clergy, the other for the member of the Society of Jesus, commonly known as Jesuits, a new Order established by St, Ignatius Loyola couple clothing and accessories same thirty years before. The seculars came first; they achieved a success which even the most eager could hardly have expected. Cool-minded and well-informed men, like Cecil, had long surmised that the conversion of the English people to Protestantism was for from complete; many—Cecil thought even the majority—had conformed out of fear, self-interest or—possibly the commonest reason of all—sheer bewilderment at the rapid changes in doctrine and forms of worship imposed on them in so short a time. cocktail dress with long tail Thus it happened that the missionaries found a welcome, not only with the families who had secretly offered them hospitality if they came, but with many others whom their first hosts invited to meet them or passed them on to. They would land at the ports in disguise, as merchants, courtiers or what not, professing some plausible business in the country, and clothing for women for summer make by devious may for their first house of refuge. There they would administer the Sacraments and preach to the house holds and to such of the neighbors as their hosts trusted and presently go on to some other locality to which they were directed or from which they received a call.
