For all fans of theater and the French language, please join us at the French Library for an exclusive preview of Adieu Monsieur Haffmann, the award-winning play that captured four Molière Awards in 2018


Cast members Julie Cavanna (Moliere award for Best Female Revelation) and Benjamin Brenière will share their experiences creating and performing this powerful work in Paris and on tour, reflecting on how being part of a Molière-winning play has shaped their artistic journeys and careers


The conversation will be moderated by David Miller, founder of Boston’s French Theater Project, who will guide an intimate exchange about the creative process and the realities of working in French theater today. This program at the French Library offers a unique opportunity to meet the actors ahead of the play’s Boston premiere.


About the Show – Adieu Monsieur Haffmann 

Written and directed by Jean-Philippe Daguerre

Set in Nazi-occupied Paris in 1942, Adieu Monsieur Haffmann tells the story of a French couple (played by Cavanna and Brenière) desperate for a child but unable to conceive. When their Jewish employer, Joseph Haffmann, asks them to hide him from the Nazis, the couple agrees—on one extraordinary condition.
