About the play

New Yorker Mathias is middle-aged, broke and unhappy. His recently-deceased, estranged father, has left him an apartment in Paris, which Mathias intends to sell as quickly as possible. On arrival, he is surprised and bewildered to find the apartment occupied by an elderly lady and her fierce and feisty daughter. What’s more, an arcane French law decrees that they are entitled to it “en viager”: lifetime habitation!

In the course of just one week, what starts as a bitter confrontation develops into a deeply moving exploration of culture, different family values, and dignity.
