Forget Me, a play adapted from Matthew Seager's In Other Words, is on at Théâtre La Bruyère in Paris in 2026. An intimate exploration of love, memory, and Alzheimer's disease.

Forget Me, an adaptation of In Other Words by Matthew Seager, remains on the bill at the Théâtre La Bruyère in Paris in 2026. A four-time Molières winner in 2023, the show continues its run in the 9th arrondissement.

The play follows Jeanne and Arthur, a couple coping with Alzheimer's disease. Starting from a daily life that feels simple and bright, the story tracks how memory, the bearings of everyday life, and their romantic bond slowly transform.

Oublie-moi is adapted and directed by Marie-Julie Baup and Thierry Lopez. The show earned in 2023 the Molière Award for private theatre, the Molière for directing a private-theatre production, and the Molières for the actress and actor in a private-theatre production.

From March 25, 2026, the role of Jeanne will be alternately performed by Julie Cavanna, Mathilde Roehrich, or Pauline Tricot, while the role of Arthur will be alternately performed by Clément Aubert, Lionel Erdogan, or Thierry Lopez. The scenography is by Bastien Forestier, the lighting by Moïse Hill, the sound design by Maxence Vandevelde, and the choreography by Anouk Viale.

The play speaks especially to audiences drawn to contemporary theater, stories of relationships, and themes of memory. The running time announced by Théâtre La Bruyère is 1 hour 15 minutes.

Our review, published during a previous performance:

Oublie-moi is a play that follows the love story of Jeanne and Arthur through the test of illness. The production hinges on a tight, intimate arc, where the couple’s everyday life gradually gives way to a sense of disorientation and fading memory.

When we first encountered the show, the sober staging, the music, and the lighting effectively underpinned this shift. The piece drew its strength from staying close to the couple, rather than resorting to flashy effects.

With the cast having changed since our initial review, this assessment reflects how the show appeared at that time, and not the various lineups currently announced at Théâtre La Bruyère.
