Farewell Mister Haffmann will head to the Park Theatre from 6 March.

A commercial and critical success in France, the play has won four Molière Awards, including Best New Play. One of the longest-running plays in France, it was also made into a film starring Daniel Auteil.

Set in 1942 in Nazi-occupied Paris, Jewish jeweller Joseph Haffmann faces imminent danger as Jews are being rounded up across the city for deportation. Desperate, Joseph turns to his trusted employee Pierre Vigneau for help.

The production will be adapted by Jeremy Sams, taken from the original director Lindsay Posner.

Casting for the run is to be announced.

Farewell Mister Haffmann will play at the Park Theatre from 6 March - 12 April 2025.
