    Faisons un rêve...
    "Faisons un reve" is an adaptation of one the first, oldest pieces by Sacha Guitry and probably one of this most witty, poetical and charming works. Not more than three caracters: the husband, the wife, her lover. And a "divertissement" was born out of this simple threesome: within four walls something happens, the lover becomes more and more daring and the wife, dazzled, falls in love with him.The dialogues of "Let's have a dream" are exquisite.
