“ I think you have to pay for love with bitter tears."
“ Singing is a way of escaping. It’s another world. I’m no longer on earth.”EDITH PIAF
� ÉDITH GIOVANNA
GASSION was born
in Belleville, on the
outskirts of Paris, in 1915.
• Though legend had it
that she was born in the
streets, she was actually
born in a hospital.
• She was abandoned by
her alcoholic mother
(who was also a singer)
when she was an infant.
• She eventually came
to be cared for by her
paternal grandmother,
who was the madam of
a brothel.
• From ages 3 to 7, Piaf
was allegedly blind,
a complication from
keratitis; she claims
to have regained her
sight on a religious
pilgrimage as a result of
miraculous healing.
• At 7 years old, she
was reclaimed by her
father, an accomplished
acrobat, who took
her travelling with
his circus.
• Piaf gave birth to her
only child, a daughter
Marcelle, in 1932, when
she was 17; Marcelle
died at the age of two
from meningitis.
• Piaf sang on the streets
to make money, and was
discovered in 1935 by
Louis Leplee, a cabaret
owner, who gave her her
fi rst nightclub job.
• Leplee was the fi rst to
refer to her as “la môme
Piaf” (the little sparrow)
due to her stature (4’8”)
and nervous demeanour;
he also advised her to
wear black when she
performed, which she
would continue to do
throughout her career.
• She quickly began
performing in major
music halls, recording
albums, and writing her
own lyrics.
• After dominating the
Parisian music scene,
she eventually shot to
international stardom
and acclaim.
• She was married twice:
in 1952 to Jacques Pills
(whom she divorced
in 1957), and in 1962 to
Theo Sarapo, a Greek
hairdresser turned actor/
singer who sometimes
sang with her.
• Piaf was involved in
several near-death car
accidents that left her with
serious injuries; these
exacerbated a reliance on
morphine and alcohol.
• She died of liver failure in
1963 at the age of 47.
• Her last song L’homme de
Berlin was recorded the
year she died.
• Piaf was denied a funeral
mass due to her irreligious
lifestyle, but her funeral
procession drew tens of
thousands of people onto
the streets of Paris.
• In 2013, 50 years after
her death, the Roman
Catholic Church gave her
a memorial mass.

Did You Know?

“ I am at heart a gentleman.”
“ Glamour is what I sell, it’s my stock in trade.”MARLENE DIETRICH
� MARIE MAGDALENE
DIETRICH was born in
1901 in Schöneberg (now
part of Berlin), Germany.
• She was married
only once in 1923 to
Assistant Director
Rudolf Sieber; though
they didn’t offi cially
remain together, they
never divorced.
• Their only child, Maria
Riva, was born in 1924,
and went on to become
an actress, working
mostly in TV; she
published a famously
frank biography about
her mother in 1992.
• Dietrich came to
major attention with
her breakout role as
Lola Lola, a cabaret
performer, in Josef
von Sternberg’s fi lm
Der Blaue Engel (1930)
which was the fi rst
German feature-length
full-talkie fi lm and was
simultaneously shot
in English as The Blue
Angel (1930).
• After the fi lm’s success,
she emigrated to the
US and was brought
under contract with
Paramount Pictures.
• Though Dietrich never
won an Academy Award,
she was nominated for
Best Actress for Morocco
(1930), a fi lm in which
she memorably performs
a song in male drag
and kisses a woman
on the mouth – both
provocative acts for
the time.
• Dietrich famously had
an adventurous love life
that allegedly included
many celebrities of her
time – Frank Sinatra,
Maurice Chevalier, and
John F. Kennedy – she
was also rumored to
be bisexual.
• After her fi lm career
waned, Dietrich
continued to perform
regularly on stage.
• In 1975, at the age of
73, she collapsed on
stage and broke her leg
during an appearance
in Sydney, Australia,
essentially ending
her career.
• Dietrich’s fi nal on-camera
fi lm appearance was a
cameo in Just a Gigolo
(1979), opposite David
Bowie, in which she sang
the title song.
• She participated in a
documentary about
her life called Marlene,
directed by Maximillian
Schell (1984), in voice
only – she refused to
be fi lmed.
• After retreating to her
Paris apartment and
living as a recluse for
over a decade, Dietrich
died in 1992 at the age
of 90.
• Her funeral was attended
by 1,500 people, with
thousands more outside
the church.

A N OT E F RO M T H E P L AY W R I G H T S
PIAF/DIETRICH IS NOT ONLY A
play about friendship; its genesis and
journey were also fueled by several
close friendships.
It all began in 2009, with us putting
together a reading of texts and letters
from and about Marlene and Edith
and their little-known friendship,
accompanied by matching songs. We
created this evening for our close friends,
the famous European actresses Sona
MacDonald and Maria Happel. They
became the two performers who first let
these icons come alive again for us.
The reading was received enthusiastically
— and another friend, David Winterberg,
suggested turning it into a play. Since
both divas and their interpretations of
songs are equally world famous, and as
very few people know these two artists
had a strong amicable, even briefly
romantic connection, we instantly saw
that this could be more than just another
jukebox musical.
During our profound research we
were fascinated by how these women’s
contrariness in a way underlined their
respective skills and characteristics. They
were like fire and water, light and dark:
Marlene and Edith for us were Yin and
Yang to one another, the opposite and yet
the same, somehow.
Our agent Bettina Weyers from the
Gallissas publishing company arranged a
presentational play reading of Spatz Und
Engel (the original German title) in Berlin
and soon after it was produced at one
of Europe’s oldest and most prestigious
theatres: Vienna’s Burgtheater, with
Sona MacDonald and Maria Happel
still portraying the famous duo. The
production was part of the repertoire
for six seasons! More than a dozen
other productions followed mainly in
Germany, but also in Switzerland and
Czechoslovakia (the first translation).
We felt that this play had an international
appeal, so we asked our friend Sam
Madwar to translate it into English.
Then Jonathan Monro, this production’s
Musical Director, and, again a close
friend for many years, suggested our play
to the Segal Centre in Montreal.
Lisa Rubin and Jon Rondeau saw the
potential of The Angel and the Sparrow
and wisely brought playwright Erin
Shields and director Gordon Greenberg
on board who helped shape and modify
it to match North American theatregoers’
expectations. The English-language
premiere in Montreal at the Segal Centre
in 2018 was really well received, and
now David Mirvish has opened the
doors to the CAA Theatre for a 12-week
engagement in Toronto, retitling the play
Piaf/Dietrich.
We are over the moon and so thankful to
everyone involved to see our play being
performed by such a fabulous cast and in
this venue, which, although completely
rebuilt in 2004, this year celebrates its
centenary of entertaining Torontonians.
We hope you enjoy entering the world,
lives, and music of two of Europe’s
most famous Chanteuses and their
changeful friendship!

A N OT E F RO M T H E D I R E C TO R
PIAF–DIETRICH. JUST HEARING
those two names in juxtaposition set
off waves of excitement when I first
learned of this wonderful new play.
Two of Europe’s most popular, most
passionate — and most tortured stars
on the same stage? For ‘camp’ value
alone, it was hugely promising. And
then there was the music. Songs like
La vie en rose, Je ne regrette rien, and
Falling In Love Again have become
emblematic of a type of European
chanson that is unapologetically
emotional; that reaches into the depths
of your soul and squeezes. I knew this
would be full bodied red wine-soaked
theatre, if nothing else. What I didn’t
realize, though, was the deep humanity
contained in their unique relationship.
At a time when popular culture was still
defined by a small handful of artists,
these were two of the biggest: divas
without compromise, whose lives were
as theatrical as their performances.
However, each woman approached life
and art in a very different way.
While Piaf wore her heart – and her
heartbreak – on her sleeve, Dietrich
created a suit of armor that defined her
on stage and off. For Dietrich, discipline
(or the semblance of it) governed her
choices. For Piaf, it was all about being
true to the moment, regardless of
long-term consequences. Like other
great artists whose stock in trade was
raw emotion, she self-medicated to
avoid the dark depression that is often
the flip side of a high – and ultimately
paid the price. For Dietrich, it was the
cool sense of control that defined her
career and emboldened her to reject
Nazi Germany, emigrating to America
in a wildly unpopular move (amongst
Germans), that came with a cost.
At its core, Piaf/Dietrich is about the
complicated, dangerous and deeply
human relationship between these
two European legends; powerful
women struggling to connect in a
world that had defined them by their
relationships to men. With opposite
strengths and celebrity in common,
the two women found themselves
drawn to each other; frustrated and
delighted and craving what the other
had and they believed they did not.
Theirs was a wild ride, and while this
play, wrapped in a sexy smoke-filled
concert, traces their romance,
friendship and feud with each other,
it ultimately celebrates the poetry and
power of giving everything you have
to your art, living without regrets, and
giving your heart fully.
