Le voyage de Monsieur Perrichon, comedy, Théâtre Municipal, Nevers
On Thursday 17 December 2026 at 20:00 the Théâtre Municipal de Nevers presents Le voyage de Monsieur Perrichon, directed by Frédérique Lazarini after the well-known comedy by Eugène Labiche. The listing tells of a rich shopkeeper, Monsieur Perrichon, who travels by train for the first time with his wife and daughter Henriette towards Chamonix, followed by two young suitors, Daniel and Armand, who hope to win the daughter by first charming her father. The description says the staging draws on silent cinema and burlesque, with a mechanical style inspired by Charlie Chaplin and a fantasy close to Jacques Tati, and that it satirises nineteenth-century tourism and the fascination with speed and machines. Tickets cost from 15 to 28 euros and are booked through the organiser, La Maison, and the performance runs from 20:00 to 21:30. A comedy like this is easy to enjoy alone, because the whole room laughs at the same scenes together. «Frédérique Lazarini ravive avec audace et finesse la célèbre comédie d’Eugène Labiche pour un voyage réjouissant dans les Alpes suisses.» Starts 20:00, ends about 21:30.
