limited season | roda theatre
january 28–february 27, 2005
world premiere
Running time: 2 hours, including one 15 minute intermission
Fêtes de la Nuit means “parties of the night,” and as the name suggests, this is a story of love, passion and Paris.
Fêtes is a racy collage that expresses the beauty and complexity of love. It mingles drama, dance and music—including Edith Piaf, great arias from opera, hip hop and French pop music—into a sensual and exuberant celebration of life.
Fêtes reunites the OBIE Award-winning artistic team of playwright Charles Mee and Berkeley Rep Associate Artistic Director Les Waters. Each won the OBIE Award for their Off-Broadway production of Mee’s Big Love. Les most recently staged Eurydice earlier this season here at Berkeley Rep.
Be forewarned: Fêtes de la Nuit is a naughty valentine. It contains strong language, adult themes and nudity. It’ll be irresistible to mature audiences!
Produced in association with AT&T:OnStage®, administered by Theatre Communications Group.
