A Modern Drama about Love and Loyalty By: Jean-Philippe Daguerre Translated by: Eli Bijaoui Directed by: Udi Ben Moshe

About the show

Paris, 1942. Mr. Haffmann, a prosperous Jewish jeweler, understands that his life is in danger and offers one of his employees a trade: he can have the jewelry store in exchange for hiding Mr. Haffmann from the Nazis. But Pierre, the employee, presents a counteroffer: he and his wife, Isabelle, are desperate for a child, but Pierre is infertile; they will hide Haffmann if he agrees to have a child with Isabelle. The play follows the unique relationship that forms between the three characters as the reality of occupied Paris closes in on them.

A contemporary drama offering a humorous, sophisticated, theatrically rich presentation of a compelling moral dilemma, while shedding new light on life during the Holocaust.

The Israeli debut of the play which took France by storm and won four Molière Awards (including Best Play and Best Playwright).
