Franck LEPLUS was born on October 18, 1960 in Lille opposite the Sébastopol theatre. Was this a sign? It works very young
person like employee of a regional printing works then enters in the University Regional Hospital complex of Lille. It also launches out very early in the trade unionism. It should be said that it is family since his/her large cousin appoints Eugene DESCAMPS former national secretary of CFTC and founder of trade-union Secularity while becoming the very first national secretary of CFDT. In 1987 it implements a theatrical company, the company “Gallery of Portraits” with two orientations, the professional theatre, the other amateur. Its arrival with the theatre is an accident. Thus a being claimed type one of his/her friends had concealed a text to him “the glances” and this text was used in a selection trial but… with another name. This bad memory was positivé since it highlighted qualities of theatrical writing. Thus it launches out in this form of writing and which it writes and puts in scene of many sketches with actors and actresses of the Galerie company of Portraits. It also writes SACRE JESUS! A comedy which will be selected by the harvest of the authors of between acts of the Company of the authors and dramatic type-setters in Paris. It will be put in scene with pupils of the higher national academy of dramatic art. Its desire for writing results then in ROCK and FOL! A comedy treating of the tolerance then of It IS NOT LONG a LIFE! That he wrote for a professional actress Veronique GONSE who interpreted this one woman show about fifty times. Each time the laughter was with go.
Continuing a career of trade unionist with Departmental, Regional and National missions, it leaves a little in sleep its theatrical activities. During the same time and under its crook the trade union which it represents increases as well in a number of members as in positive electoral results. It contributes largely to the image of a trade-union federation a little pâlotte on a national level. It directs trade-union teams with a great direction of the communication and never leaves somebody in plan or in difficulties. It will be always present and this proximity is undoubtedly a major element in the very positive assessments of this trade-union representative.
But when one touches with the writing one does not demolish any so easily. Thus in 2006 this author was victim of an accident of health and it was operated in open heart. Not wishing to remain of unavailability too a long time, there composed the newspaper of its federation and of which he is a writer in chief lasting his hospitalization, transmitting it as of its return to the residence in direction of the printer. It took again its activities in two months. At this point in time a kind of bulimia seized the individual. It undertook several simultaneous things. It started to write several scénarii comic strips (ADVENIRE, KNARFYS, Francky MARLOVE, the theatre in Madnesses) working some projects with several different draughtsmen.
. It also sent several of its texts to the editors: SACRE JESUS! Was published in editions EDILIVRE APARIS in 2008 then TCHETAPOUX with the same editions in this beginning 2009. It completed the writing of “ADVOCATUS!” comedy on lawyers, very committed comedy where a number of famous political characters are depicted (Comedy addressed to EDILIVRE but also to ABS, LANSMAN in Belgium…)
It finished also the writing of a first historical novel “ADVENIRE: The destiny of Jean " who was addressed these days Ci to the editions FAYARD, Albin MICHEL, GRASSET… and continues on this saga historical with ADVENIRE: With the help of Arawaks… Specialist in the communication and particularly in the relations trade unions, Directions of publicly-owned establishments and private of the medical and social sectors, it is moreover titular of a licence professional of communication which it obtained with Bien mention.
The prospects to come did not change so much and it hopes that the historical novel will find its editor. It also continues its Comic strips projects often solicited by draughtsmen of a little everywhere in France and from which it recognizes the talents. 2009 will undoubtedly be a year still rich in emotion with the results awaited on the edition of SACRE JESUS ! and TCHETAPOUX but also on the possible editions of ADVOCATUS in the field of the theatre and of ADVENIRE in the historical literature. In any event the author will not remain about it there and still promises some surprises to us….
