Written and performed by Christine Bovill
The Paris Icon and the Glasgow girl
PIAF, as much a play as it is a musical homage, is a funny, poignant and moving theatrical homage to one of France’s most endearing icons; celebrating some of her best known songs, (No Regrets, La Vien En Rose, Milord) threaded with Piaf’s story, and Christine’s own remarkable journey in the world of chanson.
No glamour. No gimmicks. No pretence. Nothing but a voice, singing of life’s triumphs and tragedies.Who was Edith Piaf? And how did she come to represent the spirit of Paris like no- one before or since? Christine Bovill hated French at school; a fact she was happy to share with anyone who would listen. That is, until the chance discovery of an Edith Piaf record. This would prove a seminal moment in the life of the 14 year old girl from Glasgow- and set Christine on a fateful path through time into the world of France’s greatest musical icon. https://www.christinebovill.com/
