« Kramer contre Kramer » at the Bouffes Parisiens
Adapted for film starring Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman in the 80s, the work of Avery Corman, “Kramer contre Kramer” today focuses on the stage in Paris. In the main roles, we find Frederic Diefenthal and Gwendoline Hamon, husband and wife to the scene and in the city. Revealed by “Taxi” in 1998, the actor plays a moving role, that of an advertiser who is confronting his role as a father when his wife leaves him, leaving him arm on their son aged six. Gradually the little Billy approximates Ted Kramer, his father. But everything is called into question when Joanna Kramer calls his son. Ted throws himself into a legal battle to gain custody of Billy.
“Kramer contre Kramer” from September 10, 2010 at The Theatre Bouffes Parisiens.
