Potiche
by Barillet & Gredy
Directed by Fanny Dulin
Performed by Le Workshop students (tuesday group)
Performed in French
"Elle a raison Joëlle, je ne suis qu'une potiche"
Mais Suzanne l'est-elle vraiment?
Dans un jeu de couleurs et un univers où les genres n'ont plus vraiment d'importance, notre version de cette comédie culte de Barillet et Gredy se veut un hommage aux femmes avec humour, sincérité et sourire. Le tout sur des airs des années 80.
Après deux ans sans spectacles, mais quinze ans de cours de théâtre en Français à Londres, Le Workshop retrouve enfin les planches ! Pour ce groupe, l'année dernière avait vu leur présentation en plein air annulée, c'est une joie de présenter ce spectacle.
"Joelle is right. I am only a jar"
But is Suzanne really what she appears to be?
In a colourful genderless world, our version of this renown comedy by Barillet et Gredy is a tribute to women with laughs, sincerity and smiles. With 90s music in the background.
After two years without being able to perform, but 15 years of teaching drama in French in London, Le Workshop is back on stage! For this group, whose open air show got cancelled last summer, it is a real joy to present this show.
"Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
