**This year Sacré Théâtre will be performing Le Chasseur français by Boris Vian.**

A popular newspaper, suspicious about some of the messages in its personal column, hires detectives to snoop on the arranged rendezvous. But nothing is quite what it seems, as the action shifts from an obviously fake wood to a dodgy high-society property and then to the audition room of a tv talent show. Nor are the characters easy to pin down, as they play out their competing fantasies: a crime-writer living out his scenarios, confused lovers of a variety of orientations, an Italian opera-conductor, a marquise who emits a stream of Parisian slang… not to mention a couple of fake trees and a talking horse. Perhaps not surprisingly, this world keeps bursting into song which comments on or sends it up. A riotous evening of theatrical deception awaits.
