The Unexpected Man

In a train, a famous writer is sitting opposite a woman who is reading his latest book. A pure coincidence! It’s unclear whether the encounter will take place, but unease sets in, and doubt lingers. By placing her characters under the sign of chance, Yasmina Reza allows us to share the fever of emerging relationships and the vertigo that accompanies them.

Yasmina Reza’s plays have been adapted into more than thirty-five languages. Among other accolades, she has received the most prestigious Anglo-Saxon awards: the Laurence Olivier Award and the Tony Award. Her latest book, Récits de certains faits, was published by Flammarion in 2024.
