Synopsis

Inspired by Henri Becque’s La Parisienne THE STORY: Set in Washington, D.C., where powerful friends are the only kind worth having, THE PARISIAN WOMAN follows Chloe, a socialite armed with charm and wit, coming to terms with politics, her past, her marriage, and an uncertain future.

Dark humor and drama collide at this pivotal moment in Chloe’s life, and in our nation’s, when the truth isn’t obvious and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Press Reviews

"In 1885, all Paris was talking about Becque’s scandalous La Parisienne, which focused on heroine [Clotilde], whose morals were a matter of political and personal convenience…Fast-forward to the present, when corruption has become such an everyday part of our politics that we don’t blink when congressmen announce that they’re voting the way their rich donors tell them to…in Willimon’s THE PARISIAN WOMAN, the scene is not Paris but Trump’s Washington, and the heroine is Chloe—[a] magical creature with the power to hold the fate of a nation’s political elite in the palm of her hand."
