PIAF announced as part of new season at The Watermill

The Watermill Theatre have announced that Piaf by Pam Gems will play at the venue from 4 April – 17 May as part of its new season.

Directed by Kimberley Sykes, the production will draw audiences into the extraordinary world of Édith Piaf, the French chanteuse who captivated the world with her unquestionable talent.

Audrey Brisson returns to The Watermill after her much-loved, critically acclaimed and Olivier-nominated performance as Amélie Poulain in Amélie in 2019, which subsequently transferred to the West End.

Pam Gems’ play charts The Little Sparrow’s dramatic rise from the squalor of the streets of Paris to the glamour of international stardom. Piaf intertwines the great loves, losses and questionable decisions of this complex and fragile star with her raw, spellbinding songs, performed live by an ensemble cast of actor-musicians.

Audrey Brisson said: “I'm very much looking forward to being back at the Watermill and getting my teeth stuck into this tremendous project.”
