Why See Piaf?

THE RISE AND THE FALL OF THE EXTRAORDINARY SINGER

Piaf tells the tale of one of the 20th century's greatest singers, Edith Piaf, who is remembered and celebrated still for her remarkable talent and extraordinary life. Jamie Lloyd's acclaimed production of Piaf is overseen by Pam Gem, who wrote the classic 1978 play.

The play follows the extraordinary life of Edith Piaf, the French cabaret singer who became widely regarded as France's national diva and an international star. Born on the streets in 1915, Edith was raised by her grandmother who ran a brothel. Throughout her teenage years, her rise to success and her fall from grace, Edith battled love, loss, drugs, drink and sexual exploitation, until her premature death in 1963. From the streets of Paris to international fame, the musical legend's life is beautifully and breathtakingly captured, with all its squalor and glamour and triumph and tragedy.

The role of "The Little Sparrow" Edith Piaf is magnificently played by Argentinian actress-singer Elena Roger (who received an Olivier Award nomination for Evita) and has stunned audiences and critics alike.
