Meet Alexis Michalik, the wonderboy of French theatre Imagine having four plays on Paris stages simultaneously after years of seeing your work play to sold-out crowds. Such is life for 37-year-old Alexis Michalik, whose latest creation was inspired by a painful breakup he experienced. In addition to winning 10 Molières -- the French Tony award -- the prolific story-teller has also published a novel that's sold tens of thousands of copies. "I had this story that was too long for the stage," he says, "the most economical way to tell it was by writing a book." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
