One of France’s most successful and long-running plays, and a winner of four Molière Awards, Farewell Mister Haffmann makes its London premiere.
Set in 1942 in Nazi-occupied Paris, Jewish jeweller Joseph Haffmann faces imminent danger as Jews are being rounded up across the city for deportation. Desperate, Joseph turns to his trusted employee Pierre Vigneau for help.
In a risky and unconventional deal, he transfers ownership of his jewellery shop to Pierre in exchange for being hidden from the Nazis. But the deal comes with an unexpected condition: in return for hiding him from the Nazis, Pierre requests that Joseph enter into a particular arrangement with his wife, Isabelle. This unusual request raises the stakes, as the three of them find themselves struggling with the dangers and moral complexities of their situation.
A Matisse painting and an art loving Nazi officer and his flamboyant wife complicate matters further for Pierre, Isabelle and Joseph. As the marital pressures and absurd demands pile up, their deal teeters on the edge of collapse.
Blending dark humour and suspense against the background of unprecedented times, this play shines a light on human resilience in the face of impossible choices.
📍 Venue Description: Park Theatre delivers world-class theatre
==========================================
The innovative Park Theatre London was created by Artistic Director Jez Bond and Creative Director Melli Bond. The Bonds underwent a six-year search across London for the perfect building that could represent their artistic aims and also their aspirations for inclusivity and diversity. Their efforts would prove successful when they stumbled upon a vacant office block next to Finsbury Park station in 2010.
How Park Theatre came to be
----------------------------
Support from the theatre community played a pivotal part in order for the theatre to thrive. Notable figures who backed the theatre include Alan Rickman and Ian McKellen. Once the press, public and local residents were on board the Bonds were able to raise the necessary funds to convert the abandoned building into the stunning showhouse that it is known to be today. Following a £2.6 million refurbishment, the building, designed by David Hughes Architects, opened in May 2013 to critical acclaim.
