This is a wonderful play, with five distinct and well-developed characters; the scenes which are well written throughout the play bring out the different personalities of the characters their past, their present and their potential futures.
The play takes us into the Paris of 2010, where we meet our five characters:
Nancy, a retired headmistress, looking for a more relaxed way of life;
Raquel an oft married ‘cougar’ still searching for love; Anna, a recently widowed woman who is now a seeking a new purpose in life;
Charlot, an actor, come singer, come plumber, also looking for romance and Madame Boussiron, a typical Parisienne, who rents out her apartments to les dames anglaises.
This play has it all: a great French soundtrack; sparkling and insightful dialogue; laughter; remorse, singing, and a certain je nais se quois.
