It's always sunny in Hollywood: Claire Nebout at the Apollo Theatre

Il fait toujours beau à Hollywood brings together Claire Nebout, Thomas Chabrol, Mata Gabin and Geoffroy Thiebaut at the Apollo Théâtre, in Paris's 11th arrondissement, from October 25 to December 28, 2026. Written and directed by Jean Marbœuf, this theatrical fantasy tackles women's freedom and censorship through four characters.

The plot follows Jessie Hays, the wife of a senator, whose daily life is shaped by a Protestant upbringing and her husband’s demands. Discovering a forgotten script opens up a new perspective on desire and pleasure. As she explores this newfound freedom, her marriage turns into a battleground for settling scores.

This intimate journey echoes the questions raised by the play: religious norms, the status of women, discrimination, and artistic freedom. The gap between the principles professed and the characters’ desires fuels the comedy. The production thus places power dynamics within the couple at the heart of its story.

The cast brings together four performers to bring to life the play by Jean Marbœuf. Performances are scheduled on Sundays at 3 p.m. and Mondays at 7:30 p.m.—two weekly showings for this production at the Apollo, running through the end of December.
