May 15 Theatre play in French: LES CRAPAUDS FOUS by Mélody Mourey

-
Alliance Française de San Francisco, 1345 Bush Street, San Francisco, CA 9410974

Step into an extraordinary true story brought vividly to life on stage.

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.

Join us for an evening of laughter, resilience, and inspiration.

Depuis plusieurs décennies, le Théâtre du Coin est le rendez-vous incontournable de la Bay Area pour le théâtre en langue française, apportant au public de la région la chaleur et l'énergie de la scène française. Fondée et animée par des amateurs passionnés de théâtre francophone, la compagnie a constitué un répertoire riche allant de la farce classique à la comédie mordante en passant par le drame littéraire,  de l'effervescente Une Aspirine pour Deux et de la pétillante L'Importance d'être Constant d'Oscar Wilde, au jouissif Dogg's Hamlet de Tom Stoppard, au percutant Golden Joe, et à l'hilarant Les Révérends, sans oublier l'iconoclaste Le Père Noël est une Ordure, le poétique Venise Sous la Neige, et l'absurde et grinçant La Leçon d'Ionesco. À travers chaque production, le Théâtre du Coin s'est imposé comme un pont culturel essentiel, maintenant vivante la tradition théâtrale française.


La pièce
Inspirée d'une histoire vraie et largement méconnue, Les Crapauds Fous est une comédie d'aventure aussi drôle qu'émouvante. En Pologne occupée, en 1940, deux médecins — Eugène et Stanisław — mettent au point un stratagème audacieux pour berner les nazis et éviter la déportation de leurs voisins vers les camps de travail. Écrite par Mélody Mourey, cette pièce alterne avec brio entre humour et gravité, passé et présent, pour rendre hommage à ces insoumis courageux qui ont dit non. Un spectacle vivant et plein d'esprit, nominé aux Molières, qui redonne foi en l'humanité.
