STAGE
<i> Arts and entertainment reports from The Times, national and international news services and the nation's press</i>
France’s oldest drama company, La Comedie-Francaise, has been forced by a crippling strike to leave the historic theater in central Paris where it has presented French classical drama since 1799. A strike by stagehands disrupted the troupe’s performances soon after the 1986-87 season opened last September, and the theater has been virtually closed since March 23, when the workers called the strike as part of a wage dispute.
