<div style="font-size: 12pt; direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This backstage farce describes a day in the life of the oldest and most prestigious theatre company in the world, founded in 1680 under Louis XIV. It has also emerged as one of the most delightful comedies of the year and became a sleeper hit over the summer. Directed by Bertrand Usclat and Martin Darondeau with energy and fervour the action starts just three hours before the premiere of a production of Macbeth that is being directed by novice Nina (<b>Pauline Clément</b>).&nbsp;</span><br></div><div style="font-size: 12pt; direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Everything that can go wrong does as the clock ticks: an actor is stuck on a train, tensions explode, equipment breaks down, egos clash, and panic sets in. With no way out and time slipping away, Nina must hold the show together at all costs. But will she make it until the curtain rises?</div><div style="font-size: 12pt; direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></div><div><span style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>"Inspired by <i>Call My Agent</i>, this backstage farce lovingly skewers Paris' most elite theatre." - <i>Variety</i></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Screening as part of French Film Festival 2026.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.glasgowfilm.org/homefrench-film-festival">Click here to browse the full programme.</a>&nbsp;</span><br></div><div><span style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">French with English subtitles.&nbsp;</span></div>ComedyPT1H15M152026-11-25FRfr
