Upcoming attractions at the 50-seat Salle Jean D’Arc theatre in the little village of Presles, an hour north of Paris, include an amateur cabaret, an evening of improv theatre and a recital by a local mezzo soprano. But, on Tuesday at least, South Africa’s current director of rugby, former head coach, and sometime waterboy, Rassie Erasmus, had the stage all to himself.
Erasmus entered through the black backdrop, stage right, and took a seat in the middle of the spotlit top table arranged between the red velvet drapes. He didn’t bring his disco lights with him, but it was still some performance.
