Yesterday, my daughter and I were enthralled and charmed by the simple story presented in a magical way. We were deeply impressed by the intelligence of the play and the actors, creating a very believable setting with marvellous technology. Best of all, we were thrilled to have the surprise of the French language being the main medium. An unforgettable play and have recommended it to anyone who will listen. Merveilleuse!!
