Description
Alone on stage? A colorful show, full of humor and tenderness.
The Théâtre de Poche’s review:
A radiant actress who brings to life all the delicacy, humor, and humanity of Jean-Paul Didierlaurent’s novel.
A tender, sensitive, and deeply comforting show—a gentle escape… approved by the goldfish.
A true favorite.
Blending the poetry of everyday life with humor, “La liseuse du 6h27” celebrates those who, without making a fuss, bring wonder back to the world.
Guylaine Vignolles doesn’t like her name. Nor does she like her job. Nor does she like Mondays. Which is already a lot to handle.
Employed at a factory that destroys unsold books, she spends her days feeding a monstrous machine—a page-devourer, a word-eater. A graveyard of commas.
Yet every morning, at exactly 6:27 a.m., Guylaine joins the resistance. On the crowded RER train that takes her to work, she reads aloud the pages she saved the day before from the shredder. And in the car, the passengers pause in their rush and catch their breath.
But Guylaine remains alone (with all due respect to her goldfish)
Until the day a small USB flash drive, found by chance, turns everything upside down. A small flash drive filled with hope and life. A small flash drive that could very well change the course of events.
Press excerpt: “An acting performance praised for its subtlety and her ability to accurately embody a variety of characters.” —Classique en Provence
