French Toast

Assistant Stage Manager

Director: Marianne Badrichani

​

A little bit rude, a little bit sexy - with a few songs…

.

Basingstoke, 1977. Director Simon Monk thinks his musical adaptation of the classic French play Phedre will be his come-back ticket to England. 

​

Jacqueline Bremont, a French theatre diva, has decided that it will be the role of her life.

​

But there are just a few minor details to iron out: she can’t sing, she can’t dance, and Simon has no intention of casting her.

Can the show survive a cavalcade of rampaging egos, romantic entanglements and linguistic lapses? Bonne chance! 

​

This uproarious comedy by France’s acclaimed playwright Jean Poiret (La Cage aux Folles) lands on the English stage for the first time in a glittering new adaptation.
