“One of the most interesting and rewarding plays to have been written within the last twenty years.” - NEW YORK DRAMA CRITICS' CIRCLE

Welcome to Chaillot and the whimsical world of Countess Aurelia, a flamboyant holdover from a less cynical time. She whiles away her days sharing her joie de vivre and cryptic wisdom with everyone she encounters – until corrupt businessmen discover oil beneath her Paris neighbourhood! With everything she holds dear suddenly under threat, the Countess unites with a rag-tag group of local artists, vagabonds, and dreamers to take Chaillot back. This poetic and comic fable of good and evil, written in 1943 during the Nazi occupation of Paris, has developed a whole new relevance in our current era of pipelines and protests.
Recommended for ages 13+

Reviews

“In The Mad Woman of Chaillot, hints of Paris appear in arches and the Eiffel Tower, with giant scaffolding, which will be used in the second act, in the background. Off to the side, giant pipes run from floor to ceiling. Sound Designer Logan Swain taps into the universal appeal of Parisian tunes to evoke the City of Lights.” -Janis LaCouvee
