The one-woman show explores the life and work of Colette, the French author best known for her novels “Gigi” and “Cheri,” who was also a vaudeville performer, trailblazing feminist and a lover whose affairs with both men and women scandalized French society at the end of the 19th century.
The play ran for six months in San Francisco/Berkeley in 2016–17 and was nominated for Outstanding Solo Production by Theatre Bay Area. It was first performed in 2015 at the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage.
“Colette Uncensored” will play at Canal Café Theatre from May 4 to May 12.
