PLAYWRIGHT DATABASE

Une journée ordinaire | Eric Assous

Between a father and daughter separation is inevitable. One day she will go off with someone else, and you must accept it and put a good face on it. It's not easy to give up what you hold dearest to a stranger.

Un nid pour quoi faire | Olivier Cadiot

"Royal court in exile in the mountains seeks image consultant. Comfortable room in atypical chalet. No artists."

Passés (Veillée d'armes) | Laurent Contamin

Strata from the past resurface at a seaside resort in northern France - both a border area and a place "in the middle of nowhere" - jeopardizing the present and its security bias.

Bluff | Enzo Cormann

Bluff is a series of three short plays with the common theme of lies — in other words truth, since lies are defined as 'the opposite of truth.'

L'Une | Denis Lachaud

A woman informs her husband that she no longer loves him and wants to leave him. She invites her children over to inform them that she's leaving them too...

Au pays des | Sylvain Levey

Au pays des questions violence and its workings, focusing on psychological violence in the workplace. The main character works in a large amusement park.
