Description

Josiane Balasko's irresistible cult comedy!<p> In a dingy, deserted bistro across from a train station, Jacques Belin, the somewhat corny star host of the game show "L'Affaire est dans le sac" (The Deal's in the Bag), bumps into Simone, a down-on-her-luck girl just released from prison. She's naive, popular, and full of life; he fancies himself glamorous, chic, and "trendy." To drown their loneliness, they embark, despite themselves, on a wild night, punctuated by the frenetic ramblings of the bartender, as clingy as he is talkative, a huge Jacques fan.<br><br> With the help of alcohol, Simone and Jacques will tame each other, confide in one another, reinvent themselves, and grow closer. A lot closer... A little too close, even...<br><br> After such a drunken night, waking up in Jacques' apartment is bound to be difficult, memorable, and explosive! He remembers nothing, neither who this high-strung, lovestruck girl is who's moved in with him, nor even giving his address to the bartender who, of course, doesn't miss the opportunity to show up...<br><br> Witty lines, a hilarious and unlikely trio for a pure moment of relaxation... to be enjoyed without moderation!<br><br> <strong>Did you know?</strong><br> "Nuit d'ivresse" is a café-theatre play by Josiane Balasko, created on October 2, 1985 at the Théâtre du Splendid Saint-Martin, with Josiane Balasko, Michel Blanc and Jean-François Dérec.<br> A true success from its inception, "Nuit d'ivresse" is a little gem of a comedy. Adapted for the screen in 1986 and frequently performed on stage, this hilarious and invigorating play has become one of the essential classics of French comedy.</p>
