Thé à la menthe ou t'es citron Patrick Haudecoeur et Danielle Navarro-Haudecoeur | | photo: Dominique Deschamps |
| | | A troupe of actors is rehearsing a light comedy. It`s a few days from opening night, and nothing is ready. The tech crew is phlegmatic, the costume designer is out of the loop and the director is out of his depth.
The actors are wired, and the lead actress is on the verge of a nervous breakdown - because of the young leading man, imposed by his father, the producer. What next! Awkward, shy, naive and goofy, he`s taking his first baby steps on stage.
Opening night arrives and everything goes haywire! " |
| "Actor and successful musical playwright Patrick Haudecoeur had the excellent idea of reviving Thé à la menthe ou t’es citron, a humorous piece that is irresistible in every repect. The audience is watching a rehearsal for a play that is far from being ready - extremely far. But opening night does indeed arrive, and the audience explodes in uninterrupted laughter as they revel in this nightmare. The comic situations are superbly inventive and the humor striking. In this extremely well-run operation going at full tilt, audiences are so delighted they can hardly catch their breath under the avalanche of gags."
Brice Michelin, Paru Vendu, 4-10 February 2010
