Les combats d'une effrontée (The Battles of a Woman who Dared)      

Adapted by Cristiana Reali and Antoine Mory from Simone Veil's memoir “A Life” 
Directed by Pauline Susini
With Cristiana Reali and Noemie Develay-Ressiguier

In French with English supertitles.

The play is the first ever adaptation of Simone Veil’s 2007 memoir called “A Life”, which recounts in detail Veil’s deportation from France to Nazi concentration camps as a child and her astonishing life afterwards.

While few Americans are familiar with the name Simone Veil, to the French she is one of the most revered public figures of recent history. This play seeks to delve into the details of her life to understand what it was that made her a figure that marked her time and one that is still relevant today?
