Directed by Richard Gauteron and written by Hervé Devolder, Succès Reprise is a delightfully cunning vaudeville that folds theatre into life. Three actors rehearse a hit play in which a woman leaves her husband for his lover, while offstage romantic entanglements mirror and complicate those roles. The piece balances sharp comedy, backstage intrigue and thorny financial stakes, staging mise en abyme with precision and warmth. Produced by Théâtre Marathon, it arrives as a celebrated Off d’Avignon success.
