May 14 Theatre play in French: LES CRAPAUDS FOUS by Mélody Mourey

Les Crapauds Fous (The Mad Toads) is an adventure comedy that is as witty as it is deeply moving. Set in Nazi-occupied Poland in 1940, the play follows two courageous doctors, Eugène and Stanisław, who devise a daring and ingenious plan to outsmart the German occupiers and protect their community from deportation.

Written by Mélody Mourey and nominated for the prestigious Molières Awards, this remarkable ensemble piece seamlessly blends humor and emotion, past and present. It is a powerful tribute to the ordinary individuals who chose courage in the face of fear, a spirited, life-affirming story you won’t soon forget.

Presented by Le Théâtre du Coin, the Bay Area’s cherished home for French-language theater, this production continues a rich tradition of bringing the vibrancy and charm of the French stage to local audiences. For decades, the company has delighted theatergoers with an eclectic repertoire ranging from classic farce and sharp comedy to literary and avant-garde works.
