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

At Le Rideau Rouge, Lyon’s audience meets a sharp new comedy

At Le Rideau Rouge, we are delighted to welcome the sparkling, debate-inviting theatrical comedy Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort. Our intimate room, designed for quick-fire dialogue and razor-sharp timing, is an ideal match for a show that thrives on the electricity between stage and audience. This title has already become a small legend among our regulars: the promise of a one-liner every heartbeat, a knowing wink every minute, and a mirror held up to modern couples that draws laughter as surely as it triggers recognition. You will find the setup familiar yet newly disarming: scenes that bounce between good faith and bad faith, the semi-mythical “rules” of domestic peace, and the unexpected turns of affection when pride, messages, and memory all collide. From the vantage point of our stage, the rhythms of the piece land with pin-point clarity, placing every sigh, silence, and punchline exactly where the room wants them.

Why this show belongs on our stage right now

Le Rideau Rouge has always favored works that keep the audience leaning forward, and Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort is engineered for that posture. The writing moves with the ease of a seasoned conversation—those kitchen-table moments that escalate into comic duels, those small misunderstandings that inflate into epic misunderstandings, and those reconciliations that feel as triumphant as curtain calls. Our technical team has fine-tuned a lighting and sound environment that lets the performers pivot from whispered conspiracies to full-throttle confrontations without losing the delicate heartbeat of the room. The staging leans on pace and proximity: characters who speak with you, not just at you, and a tempo that keeps each scene rolling into the next while leaving just enough space for the laughter to bloom. On nights like these, we see the entire audience become part of the choreography—friends nudging friends, couples exchanging raised eyebrows, strangers bonding over the shared joy of recognition. It is theater that behaves like a living conversation, and our house is built precisely for that.

From our perspective as a venue, the current artistic momentum behind this production is unmistakable. The creative team arrives in Lyon with a refreshed energy and a version calibrated for today’s everyday realities: phones on the table, calendars that never sync, messages that read one way at 8 a.m. and another at midnight. What excites us most is how this season’s iteration heightens the balance between sparkling repartee and moments of genuine tenderness; the performers have shaped transitions that let the audience breathe without ever loosening the comic grip. In the weeks leading up to these performances at Le Rideau Rouge, we have seen a surge of interest from spectators who crave precisely this mix—humor that feels handcrafted for the times, scenes that seem pulled from real life, and a playful invitation to watch ourselves with affection. Hosting Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort on our stage means presenting an evening where theatrical craft meets the pulse of the city: a tightly run show shaped by the instincts of performers in dialogue with Lyon’s audience, and by a team committed to making each performance feel like a premiere.
