Feel Almost Like A Parisian At Cosy’s Apartments Cadet

Arriving in the dead of night, the tiny street that makes up one side of a triangle on sections of Rue la Fayette and Rue du Faubourg Montmartre in the Grands Boulevard neighborhood we would have been lost and confused upon arriving at our hotel.

Approaching the building it looked like all of the other businesses along the quite street, closed for the night, rather than a hotel or apartment building, which is what we were expecting.

New Works Festival Celebrates 5 Years

How would the story have been different if William Shakespeare or Christopher Marlow were women? Would their plays have made it to the stage? Would the world celebrate their works with reiterations of new interpretations of performances? Or would they have been forgotten with time, like Aphra Behn, before Virginia Woolf and feminist scholars resurrected her memory and plays?
