The Madwoman of Chaillot is a comedic fantasy that centers around a plot of corrupt business executives who are planning to dig up the streets of Paris so they can pump oil that they believe lies beneath.  Their plot is challenged by the titlular "Madwoman" the eccentric Countess Aurelia, an idealist who resolves to fight back and rescue humanity from the scheming and corrupt developers with the help of her fellow outcasts and her fellow madwomen.  Written in 1943 during the Nazi occupation of France, The Madwoman of Chaillot has remained remarkable up-to-date.  Today, the play speaks to environmental concerns, the destruction of the natural world, and the dangers of authoritarianism.

The Madwoman of Chillot is presented by arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service Collection (www.dramatists.com).
