They are doing Carry on Christians in Saint-Etienne, a dizzy Technicolor show that is as camp as Christmas. Alexandre Heyraudís interlocking series of red colonnades is simple and practical but management should have taken the costume designer FrÈdÈric Pineau aside and stopped him spending the entire municipal budget at the local fabric warehouse. Pineauís riotous pastel togas and headdresses are right out of a 1950s time-warp.
