This internationally acclaimed satiric comedy by Jean Giraudoux, written during the Nazi occupation of Paris, is a surprisingly timely play. Venture capitalists trample over rich and poor alike. Oil fuels war. Greed is good. Sound familiar? The Madwoman of Chaillot is a delicious fable about filthy-rich and corrupt wheeler-dealers who think they have discovered oil under the heart of Paris. They're willing to destroy the city to harvest the black gold. But their plans are foiled by a marvelously eclectic band of Bohemians, beggars and slightly daffy street-folk. An incredibly funny and moving play filled with hope and light, and with a very contemporary bite!
