WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Edith Piaf sings on a record player. The sun's warm light dances on the face of the sea. Amidst the sand and rich salt air, a once famous French actress meets the granddaughter she never really knew. They discover a common bond to a lost mother and daughter, Savannah.
This is the first major New York production of Marguerite Duras' Savannah Bay. Exploring themes of love, loss and the overwhelming power of memory, Savannah Bay is a gossamer, lyrical and beautifully haunting work of theater.
Award-winning actress Kathleen Chalfant returns to Classic Stage to star, and internationally renowned director Les Waters stages this exquisite work.

Charles Aznavour once commented that the only time he saw Paris traffic brought to a complete standstill after World War II had ended was on the day Edith Piaf's funeral cortège wound through the city. When the procession reached Père Lachaise Cemetery, which is only minutes from the Belleville street where the chanteuse grew up, some 40,000 citoyens crowded in for the interment. The statistic is considered a convincing measure of the hold that Piaf had on the French because she contained in her emotive voice the nation's heart and soul.
It's possible that Marguerite Duras was one of the mourners present for the funeral; that she was enthralled by Piaf is evidenced by Savann[...]
