Academy Award nominee UMA THURMAN stars in THE PARISIAN WOMAN, a new play written by Academy Award and Emmy Award nominee BEAU WILLIMON ("House of Cards") and directed by Tony Award winner PAM MacKINNON (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?).
Set in Washington, D.C., where powerful friends are the only kind worth having, the story follows Chloe (UMA THURMAN), a socialite armed with charm and wit, coming to terms with politics, her past, her marriage and an uncertain future. Dark humor and drama collide at this pivotal moment in Chloe's life, and in our nation's, when the truth isn't obvious and the stakes couldn't be higher.
THE PARISIAN WOMAN begins performances November 9 at Hudson Theatre, and also stars JOSH LUCAS (Sweet Home Alabama), MARTON CSOKAS (The Lord of the Rings), Tony Award nominee PHILLIPA SOO (Hamilton) and Tony Award winner BLAIR BROWN.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Parisian Woman
BWW Review: Beau Willimon's THE PARISIAN WOMAN Has Uma Thurman Seeking Pleasure and Power in Trump's Washington
6 / 10
On paper, The Parisian Woman works pretty well. On the stage of the Hudson Theatre, it's generally a bore, due primarily to the exceedingly bland performance of Uma Thurman as Chloe. Though playing a woman with hedonistic desires and an intellect that sets her two steps ahead of most of the DC players around her, Thurman's uncomplicated performance communicates little beyond surface earnestness. Willimon provides her with good many dry observations and witty remarks that hardly register because the star's subtext-barren readings sap them of their bite.
Review: Uma Thurman, Trapped in Trumpland in ‘The Parisian Woman’
6 / 10
Most of the rest of the cast, their parts even less defined, struggle to offer coherent portraits. This proves no impediment to Ms. Brown, however, whose 40-plus years on the stage provide her with an arsenal of theatrical weapons she can deploy at any moment. Watch her coo in pride over her daughter; watch her collapse in mortification later. Her second long scene with Ms. Thurman, when the tables get turned, is the high point of the drama. It may be the only drama, in fact.
