LΕS PARENTS TERRIBLES by Jean Cocteau

A neurotic, overly possessive mother, Yvonne, finds out her son, Michel, has intentions to marry the charming Madeleine, the woman with whom George, Michel's father, has been having an affair... The shocking news threatens to destroy the fragile familial harmony, revealing dark desires and secrets.

Love is a battlefield full of tender cruelty, in Cocteau’s ’’Les Parents terribles’’, an astonishingly witty play, which scandalised 1938s Parisian audiences. An imaginative and haunting portray of familial bonds and the plethora of emotions, lurking within the dangerous game of human obsession.
