ACT I。
A Representation at the Hotel de Bourgogne。
The hall of the Hotel de Bourgogne； in 1640。 A sort of tennis…court
arranged and decorated for a theatrical performance。
The hall is oblong and seen obliquely； so that one of its sides forms the
back of the right foreground； and meeting the left background makes an
angle with the stage； which is partly visible。
On both sides of the stage are benches。 The curtain is composed of
two tapestries which can be drawn aside。 Above a harlequin's mantle are
the royal arms。 There are broad steps from the stage to the hall； on either
side of these steps are the places for the violinists。 Footlights。
Two rows； one over the other； of side galleries： the highest divided
into boxes。 No seats in the pit of the hall； which is the real stage of the
theater； at the back of the pit； i。e。； on the right foreground； some benches
forming steps； and underneath； a staircase which leads to the upper seats。
An improvised buffet ornamented with little lusters； vases； glasses； plates
of tarts； cakes； bottles； etc。
The entrance to the theater is in the center of the background； under
the gallery of the boxes。 A large door； half open to let in the spectators。
On the panels of this door； in different corners； and over the buffet； red
placards bearing the words； 'La Clorise。'
At the rising of the curtain the hall is in semi…darkness； and still empty。
The lusters are lowered in the middle of the pit ready to be lighted。
SCENE 1。I。
The public； arriving by degrees。 Troopers； burghers； lackeys； pages；
a pickpocket； the doorkeeper； etc。； followed by the marquises。 Cuigy；
Brissaille； the buffet…girl； the violinists； etc。
（A confusion of loud voices is heard outside the door。 A trooper
enters hastily。）
