Les Femmes Ont Toujours Raison, Les Hommes N'ont Jamais Tort ! - Le Rideau Rouge (lyon)

At Le Rideau Rouge, a witty mirror held up to modern couples

At Le Rideau Rouge, we are delighted to welcome Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort, a lively and sharp-tongued comedy that feels tailor-made for the close, convivial energy of our room. From our vantage point backstage and in the house, we see precisely how this show thrives on intimacy: quick-fire exchanges land harder when you can hear every breath, and the audience’s laughter becomes a living part of the rhythm. The piece probes the small negotiations that make relationships both maddening and irresistible—misunderstood messages, mismatched expectations, and the stubborn pride that turns trivialities into epic sagas—then flips them with a timing that our stage’s proximity amplifies. The humor is generous rather than cruel, and the writing nudges spectators to recognize themselves with a mixture of affection and astonishment. At Le Rideau Rouge, we curate productions that spark conversation long after the final applause, and this title invites exactly that—post-show debates at the bar, knowing glances between friends, and the shared joy of finding your own foibles lovingly roasted on stage.

Current momentum, fresh energy, and a staging that speaks to Lyon

From our programmer’s desk, the momentum behind Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort has been unmistakable. Each performance at Le Rideau Rouge brings the sense of a living, evolving comedy: the cast leans into the room’s pulse, plays off spontaneous reactions, and lets topical references breathe without ever losing the spine of the script. We pay close attention to how these details land—where a beat stretches for a laugh, where a silence invites a collective intake of breath—and we can attest that the production’s crisp pacing and nimble direction make it a pleasure to host. The staging is light on clutter and heavy on intention: quick changes and nimble props keep scenes flowing, while light and sound cues sketch mood with a precision that suits our technical grid. This clarity serves the heart of the show: human-scale contradictions, affection wrapped in exasperation, and the delightful confusion that ensues when both sides are certain they’re right. In Lyon, where audiences relish wordplay and bite, the text’s pointed turns and playful reversals have found a particularly warm echo, and our room magnifies that connection in the best possible way.

What we witness, night after night, is a smiling parade of couples, friends, and solo spectators discovering their own private in-jokes mirrored on stage. If you arrive early, soak up the pre-show buzz as our team sets the tempo; if you linger after, you’ll catch the afterglow of a house that’s laughed together.
