Théâtre de la Huchette

Ionesco's plays have been put on here almost without a break since the 1950s and it is one of the longest-running theatrical plays in the history of plays. Even though this theater can only seat 85, it is extremely revered by the audience and creates an intimate and personal vibe when you are watching a play. La cantatrice chauve (The Bald Soprano) and La leçon (The Lesson) have played at the Théâtre de la Huchette for nearly 50 years, and the quality shows no signs of degenerating despite the passing years. In fact, three shows are usually on here, the third slot being filled by various non-Ionesco works, but the Romanian-French master remains the principal attraction. It's a Parisian legend that must be seen.
