“Le Montespan” in Princess Grace Theater

The Princess Grace Theater presents “Le Montespan” on Thursday 2 February 2023, at 8 pm.

In 1663, Louis-Henri de Pardaillan, Marquis de Montespan, and the charming Françoise de Rochechouart fall madly in love and get married. The debts pile up, and the Marquis absolutely must attract the Sun King’s good graces. So Louis-Henri goes off to war for Louis XIV and is delighted to learn that Françoise has been presented to the Queen in his absence. But he had not reckoned with the King’s roving eye, which has fallen on his tender wife. The new favourite!

Written by Jean Teulé, adapted by Salomé Villiers, directed by Etienne Launay, starring Salomé Villiers, Simon Larvaron and Michaël Hirsch.
