Description
The Nicol-David Company presents “La Belle Époque de Georges”: an invitation to take a stroll through the zany world of Georges Courteline!
From the Parisiana cabaret, where absinthe twists minds, we follow in the footsteps of Monsieur Badin. This particularly lazy civil servant is about to face the reproaches of his department head, while Miss Rosette, the cabaret owner, harasses her lover over the phone! The latter, a police commissioner, has his hands full with the steady stream of complainants in his office. Meanwhile, his wife discovers a compromising letter… Courteline portrays the entire Paris of the Belle Époque and the Roaring Twenties with his fierce wit. We laugh heartily at these entangled characters, forced to battle against a particularly rigid bureaucracy and society.
