L'affaire de la rue de Lourcine

The day after a well-watered evening, two men wake up with no memory of the day before. When they discover that a murder was committed in rue de Lourcine, a terrible doubt arises: what if they were the culprits?

The characters of the vaudeville are in place (obtuse bourgeois, limited wife, failed cousin, insolent servant), the decor too (alcove, bed, fireplace and draperies) but the burlesque turns to horror: guilt, desire for murder, passage to the act. And if, comedy obliges, everything is good that ends well, the Affair does not leave to worry.

In this new creation, the director Jean-Christophe Hembert reveals all the modernity of this black comedy where the misunderstandings, the paranoia and the absurd are linked at a frantic pace.
