“A fun and spirited comedy set in the behind-the-scenes chaos of a theatre show.” - Cineuropa
At the legendary Comédie-Française in Paris, there is one sacred rule: the show must go on. But with just three hours until the opening night of an ambitious new production of Macbeth, almost everything that could go wrong is doing precisely that. The leading man is stranded on a train, equipment is failing, tempers are fraying and theatrical egos are running riot. For producer Nina, keeping the whole enterprise from collapsing becomes a performance in itself.
Featuring real members of the celebrated theatre company, this award-winning French farce is a gloriously irreverent backstage romp, affectionately skewering the pretensions and peculiarities of the theatrical world.
In French with subtitles.
Three hours to curtain up. One missing leading man. And a theatrical catastrophe waiting to happen. As Macbeth threatens to unravel before opening night, producer Nina must somehow keep Paris’s legendary Comédie-Française on track. Featuring members of the real company, this award-winning French comedy is a deliciously chaotic backstage farce.
