Big Scoundrel

A French comedy that uses plenty of humor and self-irony to reveal the amusing and daring situations that arise in love and marriage. The main character, François Dumoulin, an architect who designs luxury yachts, decides at the age of 60 to elope with his 27-year-old mistress, leaving his wife behind. This decision sets off a series of misunderstandings, comic twists, and audacious confessions.

The three women in François’s life meet on stage: his current wife, Catherine; his ex-wife, Betty; and his young mistress, Barbara. Instead of becoming rivals in a love triangle, they forge an unexpected female alliance. Venцislav Asenov’s direction highlights the ease with which the characters navigate deception, flirtation, and self-irony, turning the story into a fast-paced, hilarious whirlwind. The actors not only perform but also sing live, bringing lightness and energy to the production—an effortless blend of speech, music, and movement, quintessentially French in spirit.

“Big Scoundrel” is a theatrical delight for everyone who enjoys a bold, lively, and entertaining comedy in which human weaknesses, intrigues, and the endless search for love lie beneath the laughter.
