The Madwoman of Chaillot

Cafe society, young lovers, aristocrats, corporate executives, vagabonds ? all are part of the madness of Jean Giraudoux?s poetic and comic fable The Madwoman of Chaillot, in which humanity is saved in the course of an afternoon. When the Madwoman of Chaillot discovers the plot of greedy schemers to drill for oil beneath the city of Paris, she hatches her own plot to vanquish the evildoers, and in so doing returns joy, justice, and love to the world. Award-winning director Heidi Helen Davis directs Maurice Valency?s English adaptation.
