They've chosen an unpublished play, a true masterpiece written by Conan Doyle himself (or so they claim!)... The action takes place in the late 19th century, in a magnificent manor house in the heart of England, during an engagement party. The festivities are about to begin when a murder is committed. Each of the guests present in the castle then becomes... a dangerous suspect.</p><p> These valiant "amateur actors" will quickly learn, to their cost, that theatre demands a great deal of discipline. Despite their best efforts, disasters will unfold at a breakneck pace. In this joyful chaos, our "Fake British," armed with legendary British composure, will do everything they can to perform this theatrical thriller, so dear to their hearts, as faithfully as possible.</p><p> Will they manage to finish the play? What state will we find them in?</p><p> What is certain is that the viewer will never stop laughing at such a succession of gags... so British!</p><p> After 10 years of triumph in France and nearly a million spectators, the phenomenal police comedy The Faux British is coming to Nantes, brought to you by 7 local artists who are as funny as they are wacky.</p>
