ABOUT THIS SHOW
VAGABONDS is a comedy that reimagines the life of the eminent French writer Colette. In this alternative history, she chooses not to marry Willy, her first husband, who forced her to put pen to page and took credit for what she produced. After rejecting him, Colette winds up in a music hall and gets romantically involved with a fellow mime. But Willy pursues her relentlessly. The play’s narrator, Renee, is a fictional character of Colette’s. Renee presents to us her fantasy: how she would have written Colette’s story, so that Colette would have written a better life for Renee.
