    "Not at all," says local playwright John Strand, who lived in Paris for 10 years and has adapted European plays for Shakespeare Theatre Company (the well-received "Lorenzaccio") among other venues.

    Foreign titles can be a hard sell, but Strand also thinks Molière's rambunctious roots in improvisation and boulevard comedy are often forgotten -- as is the fact that Molière was an acclaimed actor who usually played the leading roles in his shows.

    "He's received as more restrained," says Strand, whose version of Molière's "The Miser" for Arena Stage aggressively set the play in the "greed is good" 1980s.

    Alfred de Musset's 1833 romantic drama about politics, the Medici clan and the price of freedom is given a topical adaptation and translation by local playwright John Strand as well as a lush production at the Shakespeare Theatre under the direction of Michael Kahn.
    ...
    The female characters are, according to Mr. Strand, an improvement over de Musset's apparently one-dimensional , and some might say spiteful , depictions. Not much, though.
