French theatre, for those with command of the language.
The Théâtre Édouard VII, also called théâtre Édouard VII – Sacha Guitry, is located in Paris between the Madeleine and the Palais Garnier in the 9th arrondissement. The square, in which there is a statue of King Edward VII, was opened in 1911. The theatre itself, which was originally a cinema, was named in the honour of Edward VII, as he was nicknamed the "most Parisian of all Kings", appreciative of French culture. In the early to mid 1900s, under the direction of Sacha Guitry, the theatre became a symbol of Anglo-French friendship, where French people could discover and enjoy English works.
