About The Show

In the heart of Paris, the beautiful, young widow Célimène hosts a posh salon and entertains her guests with satiric impressions of society’s dilettantes.  Her many suitors specialize in flamboyant fashion, obsequious flattery, and atrocious poetry.  When Frank, a British traveler, arrives dressed in boring black and ready to call out hypocrisy with sharp humor and acidic cynicism, Célimène meets her match.  This riotous farce is a high-tempo roller-coaster glittering with witty wordplay and giddy love affairs that will set your heart aflutter.
