Charles Labie was a 19th-century French playwright.
His plays were presented on the most important Parisian stages of his time, including the Théâtre du Gymnase, the Théâtre de la Gaîté, the Théâtre du Palais-Royal, the Théâtre de la Porte-Saint-Martin, and the Théâtre des Variétés.
It is thanks to Joséphin Soulary induction speech, delivered on July 11, 1882, during a public session at the Academy of Lyon, and Arts of Lyon, that we know the details of Labie’s life and work.
His plays were performed on the greatest stages in Paris—including the Théâtre de la Gaîté (rue Papin), the Théâtre du Palais-Royal, the Théâtre de la Porte-Saint-Martin, the Théâtre des Variétés, and the Théâtre du Vaudeville—as well as in Lyon—at the Théâtre des Célestins and the Théâtre du Gymnase Marie Bell—for some forty years, from 1834 to 1875.
