The show will transport theatre-goers to a café-bar in 1930s Paris.

Enter Madame Bijou, nonchalant in faded finery and fake pearls. She sees Brassai’s photograph of herself, and unleashes a string of intimate memories.

Her jewels trigger stories, and music evokes the dance and songs of her youth with often hilarious results. Through seductions, wars, betrayal, and loss, Bijou survives by constantly reinventing herself. 

This sumptuous cabaret will give a rare glimpse into the private, sensual world of an ageing woman in Paris.

Show-goers will see that an older woman can be sexy, beguiling and thoroughly engaging. Accompanied by the music of Satie, Weill, Hollander and Bruant, her stories will evoke a myriad of emotions and insights into the sensual life of a wonderfully mischievous woman. 

Chrissie Shaw, award-winning theatre veteran, will be joined by leading accompanist Alan Hicks as the long-suffering bar pianist.

Don’t miss this show of delightful surprises.

The cafe and box office will open from 6pm for the 7 o’clock show. Come a bit early and enjoy a complimentary glass of wine before the performance.
