Jean-Claude Baudracco adapted Marcel Pagnol’s work for the theater for the first time in 2010. After the successes of Marius, Fanny, César and La femme du boulanger, for several seasons, in the six corners of France, the director on stage and its talented actors – veritable guardians of the temple of the southern repertoire – play this other masterpiece by Marcel Pagnol: “The Well-Digger’s Daughter”. A poignant drama in a Provençal fresco from which stand out colorful situations and characters.

However, it is mobilized. Social differences being very marked at the time, his parents refused to recognize the child. Among the common people of that time, having a child without a father was a great misfortune. Amoretti is forced to kick his daughter out of the family home. Shortly after, Jacques Mazel is reported missing, his plane having crashed, in flames behind the German lines… …a poignant drama, in a Provençal fresco, from which stand out colorful situations and characters…
