companies. In 1776, the family was taken on at the theatre at Liège,
and in 1784, they found themselves taken on at the theatre in Ghent.
In 1787, Mlle Lange was taken on at the theatre at Tours in Marguerite
Brunet's company.On 2 October 1788, she made her official debut at the
Comédie-Française in the role of Lindane in L'Écossaise by

the production of the anti-religious and anti-monarchical play Charles
IX by Marie-Joseph Chénier divided the company of the
Théâtre-Français, with Mlle Lange joining the "patriots" group
under Talma, which set itself up at rue de Richelieu (the present home
of the Comédie-Française). Anne Françoise Elisabeth Lange Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
