Piaf

Following the success at the Brighton Fringe 2015, Pam Gems' PIAF, directed by Jari Laakso, has its much anticipated return to the London stage to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of France's most loved cultural icon, Edith Piaf.

On the streets of 1930s Paris, a young woman sings for passers by. Thirty years later, the same woman's death draws tens of thousands of mourners on to the city's streets, brings traffic to a halt, and leaves a legacy of music that remains strong to this day.

What lies in the time between, is the incredible true story of Edith Piaf, 'the little sparrow'. PIAF unveils the spectacular and turbulent world of the legendary singer, incorporating live performance of her timeless music to tell her tale from sensational rise to devastating fall.
