ABOUT THE PLAY
Set in Nazi-occupied Paris in 1939, Café Resistance tells the story of the Blue Parrot, a cabaret that becomes a sanctuary for Jews and resistance fighters. the women who work there-local and foreign-use their performances to hide their true identities and resist the Nazi regime. Inspired by real events, this gripping play highlights the power of defiance in the face of oppression.
