The story of 'Le Vison Voyageur', a tale of distrust, betrayal and drama, begins in a fur shop in London. But the real story of our spotlight started 17 years ago with Nadine Mokdessi, the director of the play. Mokdessi and her loyal troupe have been performing since 1993. But what's particularly admirable about the director, besides her great productions, is that all her profits are donated to charities, NGOs and other organisations in need (this year’s recipients are Arcenciel, the Lebanese Down Syndrome Association and Restaurants du Coeur).

Mokdessi gratefully thanks her supporters. Since her first play in 1993, 'Theatre Multiples', she has managed to raise of $1,111,598 (yes, that's a seven-numbered figure). But her work is never done. Her next show, an adaptation of 'Le Vison Voyageur' (The Travelling Coat) is a must-see this month, playing at Monot Theatre from May 26th to June 6th. The play itself is a jubilant comedy, originally written by British playwright of Ray Cooney ('My Giddy Aunt'and 'Tom, Dick and Harry') who has been writing for London's West End playhouses for nearly 50 years.

 Telling the story of Steve and Arnold, two partners in the furrier business, Cooney reveals the hidden underbelly of the crusty fur trade; Steve uses a fur coat to impress his mistress, under the watchful eyes of Arnold and Miss Tipdale. A shop, two partners, employees, customers, real couples, false lovers - it's pure comedy. That's what attracted Mokdessi to Cooney's writing. It's not the first time she has adapted one of his plays, giving you even more reason to book yourself a ticket.

Tue 1–Sun 6, 8.30pm. Tickets LL30,000. [French].
