Introduction to this play

This play happens nowadays in France. Fanny is an adorable old lady, ready to help to the best of her abilities. Her best friend is Lucie, a shy old grandma. Despite having two opposite personalities, these two characters get along well. Their quiet lifes will be turned upside down by the arrival of a deserter, Martin, that Fanny will have to host to please her grandson, Steff.

Martin will appear to be a peculiar character, but the two old ladies won't have much time to notice. Fanny's house will suddenly become a very busy place, where God, the Devil, a member of the armed forces, a priest and a young woman in love will meet.

This unusual situation will give birth to lots of agitation and drama thanks to its colorful set of characters. This is a very original play, quite humorous and full of twists.
