Hello, whoever comes across this.

I translated this from the French Wikipedia, adding a little info from the German Wikipedia and koltès.gwen.org. I'm not the world's most stylistically savvy translator, however, especially considering I know nothing about Koltès beyond half an hour of associated Googling while translating this article.

If someone actually knows something about Koltès (especially the customary English titles of his early plays), please do something about this poor excuse for an article.

Cheers to you! I just merged a good deal of information from Bernard-Marie Koltes (sans accent grave) and redirected it here. Your translation is pretty good. I did some minor tweaking of it. Thanks for your contribution! *Exeunt* Ganymead | Dialogue? 20:58, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah sorry... I really should have run a search for the article without the accent. Thanks for the tidy-up. Darobsta 03:32, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Medea / acting?

"He garnered recognition for his work on a production of Medea (Médée) directed by Jorge Lavelli in 1970."

I'm very confused. What exactly did he do in this production? He apparently didn't write a play called Medea, going by the list of works and the next paragraph that says his first play was staged in 1977. And he didn't direct it because Jorge Lavelli directed it. I'm guessing he acted in it, but the intro only calls him a playwright and director.

The sentence preceding this one is also odd: "He tried his hand at writing at a very young age but later renounced it, and didn't take to the stage until the age of twenty." If I'm interpreting it correctly, "take to the stage" refers to acting--what does this have to do with the first half of the sentence, and why should I be surprised that he didn't act before the age of twenty, when the article hasn't told me that he acted at all?
