The Independent: The most prestigious theatre company in France, the Comédie Française, has been thrown into confusion over a 332-year-old pay agreement.
The classical theatre company has cancelled its published programme after backstage staff called an indefinite strike against a pay and bonus system which has been unchanged since 1680.

How odd, that an industry which, here in the US, has been on the cutting edge of unionization and continually adjusting standards of equality within its ranks, has, in France, a country where equality has been a continual source of strife and revolution, remained the same since Louis XIV, an absolute monarch.
