Sacha Guitry

A truly humorous link between the genius of Guitry and that of Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt!

At 10 years old, Alex loses his family, poisoned by a mushroom dish. Deprived of a meal for having stolen two francs, he survives. His theft saved him while honesty killed his family! From there, a strange conception of the world is born, and he converts to cheating, in love as well as at the Casino.

Press:

"A delightful theatrical moment, where spirit prevails, where words crackle, and where laughter becomes a delicious admission of weakness. The staging energises the monologue. It's an excellent idea! We have a good time during this piece of 'time'."

Le petit journal d'ALEX VIZOREK

"It's a treat for the ears as Eric Emmanuel Schmitt's writing is so rich and beautiful. It sublimates Sacha Guitry's only novel, and allows the actors to revel in the many characters and different eras of the hero's life. It's simple, effective, full of humour."

Paris Théâtre Blog

"The three actors show a lot of mischief and dynamism that make this hour and a quarter fly by. Faithful to the text, they bring out the best in Guitry's work."
