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

A sparkling night of couple-driven comedy at Le Rideau Rouge

We are delighted to welcome Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n’ont jamais tort to the intimate stage of Le Rideau Rouge in Lyon, where proximity to the performers turns a sharp-witted comedy into a shared, high-energy experience. Our room’s warm acoustics and close seating bring each line, aside, and gesture into crisp focus, inviting the audience to recognize themselves in the play’s agile crossfire of observations about modern relationships. On our stage, the piece reveals its best colors: swift scene changes, playful physicality, and a rhythm that thrives on audience reaction. Expect a buoyant, boulevard-inflected romp, where the battle of habits—household chores, social calendars, misread messages, and the eternal “Who’s right this time?”—is fought with charm rather than cynicism. At Le Rideau Rouge, we love comedies that stay light on their feet while saying something true, and this production arrives with precisely that mix of repartee, improvisational flair, and expertly timed punchlines that have kept our crowd laughing season after season.

From our vantage point as programmers, the artistic momentum around this production is palpable. The team brings a refreshed version for the current season, fine-tuned with contemporary touches that mirror the reality of couples in 2025—shared calendars that never sync, algorithmic jealousy, DIY catastrophes, and the delicate diplomacy of blended families. New callbacks and transitions keep the pace tight, while the staging embraces our room’s geometry, using sightlines and aisles to turn the audience into accomplices throughout the evening. Around the country, the title continues to draw full houses and extended runs, and these Lyon dates at Le Rideau Rouge reflect that demand: performances shaped for an intimate room where confessions land, punchlines rebound, and applause rolls back to the stage like another character. For us, it’s a perfect alignment with our artistic line-up: a contemporary comedy built for proximity, carried by performers who relish direct contact with spectators, and supported by a production that understands how to keep each scene crisp, legible, and emotionally true.

What to expect on our stage at Le Rideau Rouge

Here, the dramaturgy unfolds in fast, clever snapshots: the myth of multitasking, the home “project” that spirals into an epic saga, the quiet war of thermostats, parental diplomacy at school gates, and that deliciously awkward dinner with friends where everyone is right—and no one yields. The actors thrive on contrast: a quip collides with a look, a confession meets a counterexample, and a moment of tenderness sets up the next volley of laughter. Our light plot scaffolding supports galloping humor, while sound cues and swift blackouts punctuate each revelation. In our room, this creates an almost musical cadence, with laughter waves propelling the next beat. We’ve tuned the technical setup to preserve the sparkle of the dialogue, and our front-of-house team keeps the tempo fluid from arrival to curtain. Whether you come as a couple, with friends, or solo for a midweek treat, the experience at Le Rideau Rouge turns the foibles of everyday love into a jubilant mirror—one where, for a few glorious hours, the audience is both spectator and silent partner in the eternal dance suggested by the title Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n’ont jamais tort.
