After its success in Avignon and at the Théâtre de l’Œuvre, Une heure à t’attendre is returning to the Théâtre de Paris on January 21, 2026, starring Thierry Frémont and Nicolas Vaude.

Following a well-received debut at the 2025 Festival Off of Avignon and a successful run at Théâtre de l’Œuvre, One Hour to Wait is set to return to the Théâtre de Paris in the Salle Réjane, beginning January 21, 2026. Written by Sylvain Meyniac and directed by Delphine de Malherbe, the play features performances by Thierry Frémont and Nicolas Vaude.

The play unfolds inside an apartment nestled under the rooftops. Two men, seemingly worlds apart, are forced to share the space while waiting for an absent woman. She hasn't arrived yet, but her presence is felt through silences, memories, and each person’s projections. This waiting becomes the driving force behind a tight, theatrical chamber piece where their relationships gradually shift and evolve.

Spanning just seventy minutes, the play embraces a minimalist approach with confident simplicity. The script heavily relies on subtext, meaningful glances, and silences to convey its deeper layers. The staging, crafted by Catherine Bluwal, is enhanced by meticulous lighting design from Stéphane Baquet and costumes by Philippe Serpinet.

The play explores the theme of waiting, romantic fantasies, and how we perceive others. The staging favors a restrained tempo and maintains a steady psychological tension, aligning with the tradition of chamber dramas where the dialogue and performances take center stage.

Scheduled Wednesday through Saturday at 9 p.m., with a Saturday matinee at 4:30 p.m., the return engagement at Théâtre de Paris is set for the winter season of 2026. Special off days are planned from April 15 to 18.

An Hour Waiting for You will be premiering at the Théâtre de Paris – Salle Réjane starting January 21, 2026.
