Theatre - "60 jours de prison"

Thursday 7, Friday 8, Saturday 9 at 8 pm, and Sunday 10 November 2024, Théâtre des Muses
August 1944. As the battle to liberate Paris raged, Sacha Guitry found himself imprisoned without explanation, on the strength of nothing more than rumours that he had collaborated with the Nazi occupiers. If nobody knew the true reason for his arrest, it was quite simply because there never was one. During his unjust ordeal, the great writer kept a daily diary of his musings, mingling everyday anecdotes with an account of one of history's most important periods. With his customary class, humour, and philosophical outlook, Sacha Guitry reveals an intimate, secret side of himself, full of humanity and humility.
