Winner of four Molière Awards, one of France’s most successful and long-running plays finally makes its London premiere. 1942. Nazi-occupied Paris. Jewish jeweller Joseph Haffmann faces imminent danger as Jews are being rounded up across the city for deportation. Desperate, Joseph turns to his trusted employee Pierre Vigneau for help. A Matisse painting, an art loving Nazi officer and his flamboyant wife complicate matters further for Pierre and his loved ones. With marital pressures and absurd demands pile up, an unconventional deal teeters on the edge of collapse. Blending dark humour and suspense against the background of unprecedented times, this play shines a light on human resilience in the face of impossible choices.
