The Parisian Woman is set in Washington, D.C., where powerful friends are the only kind worth having, especially after the 2016 election. It is inspired by Henry Becque’s late 19th century comedy La Parisienne
At the center is Chloe (Uma Thurman), a socialite armed with charm and wit, coming to terms with politics, her past, her marriage and an uncertain future.
Dark humor and drama collide at this pivotal moment in Chloe’s life, and in our nation’s, when the truth isn’t obvious and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Reviews
-
An uber-modern update to Henry Becque’s 1885 play La Parisienne, The Parisian Woman was originally written in 2013; after the 2016 election, Willimon felt the need to rejigger the script to make it better reflect the times. He made what he’s called “substantial revisions”. But since this is a play that centralizes character and milieu more than it does story, its themes might have been better emphasized were they not suffused with Trump and his aura. After all, DC has always been a minefield of questionable morals and ulterior motives.
-
How will Chloe reach her goal? That’s burning question the play posits as Pam McKinnon’s assured, well-acted and handsomely designed staging unfolds. Sex. What else? It’s a currency all its own.
