The Théâtre Princesse Grace (TPG) has revealed a diverse and ambitious lineup for its 2025–2026 season, promising a rich blend of classical masterpieces, modern comedy, emerging voices, and philosophical thought. Among the highlights are landmark collaborations and three major productions staged off-site at the Grimaldi Forum.
The TPG will present 28 productions, including three at the Grimaldi Forum, starting with Bérénice—a modern reinterpretation of the Racine classic staged by Flemish director Guy Cassiers with the Comédie-Française troupe. Another major highlight is Le Mariage de Figaro, directed by Léna Bréban and starring Philippe Torreton, which aims to rekindle the play’s enduring social relevance. Cyrano de Bergerac returns with Édouard Baer in the titular role, offering a fresh poetic take on the beloved classic.
Contemporary voices and celebrated casts
Comedy and drama converge with La Vérité, a sharp piece by Florian Zeller featuring a celebrated ensemble cast, and La Veuve rusée, Carlo Goldoni’s classic Italian comedy starring Caterina Murino. Other standout performances include Stéphane Guillon and Jean‑Pierre Darroussin in Inconnu à cette adresse, and the poignant Scènes de la vie conjugalestarring Stanislas Nordey and Romane Bohringer. Audiences will also be drawn to Il ne m’est jamais rien arrivé, a memory-driven exploration of playwright Jean‑Luc Lagarce by Vincent Dedienne.
New perspectives and youthful creativity
TPG continues to champion emerging talent with a diverse programme including stand-up from pan-generational comics Panayotis Pascot and Paul Taylor, and innovative pieces such as Lumière!, which blends science and artistry to explore the history of electricity. New youth-focused works include Je suis trop vert — an ecological comedy — and Personne n’est ensemble sauf moi, which examines invisible disabilities, offering intimate and impactful storytelling. Additional works by new talents from institutions like the Théâtre National de Bretagne will also feature prominently.
Celebrated works and award-winning drama
The season honours acclaimed theatrical pieces, such as 4211 KM, recognized at the Molières in 2024, C’est pas facile d’être heureux quand on va mal, winner of the Molière for best comedy, and Les Liaisons dangereuses, awarded best actress in 2025. The triumphant Du charbon dans les veines, winner of five Molière awards, returns alongside the compelling piece Ring.
Ideas, conversation and reflection
TPG’s role as a cultural forum continues with its ongoing partnership with the Rencontres Philosophiques de Monaco. The theatre will host philosophical workshops and its annual Philo Monaco week, encouraging public engagement with critical ideas.
