Help, My Wife Is Crazy!
One of the popular comedies by contemporary French playwright Jean Barbier, first staged at the Théâtre de la Nouveauté in Paris, where it ran for many seasons. The family and professional relationships of a corporate executive give rise to endless comic situations, described by the author in the style of sophisticated French comedy.
About the production
On 20 May 2000, the newspaper Le Parisien published an article entitled “The Infectious Laughter of ‘My Wife Is Crazy’.”
It said that this play was “a genuine theatrical success, achieved through word of mouth alone.” The article went on to note that the production had just celebrated its 400th performance at the Théâtre de la Nouveauté and would remain on the bill until 31 December 2000. The author added: “Just think that in January 1999 this production was scheduled to run for only three months...” In bold, it continued: “THE AUDITORIUM HAS BEEN PRACTICALLY FULL ever since the play opened—a phenomenon rarely seen, given the maximum occupancy rates of other Parisian theatres, some of which struggle to fill every seat.”
