Six women, one week in France NOTE: Extra performance on Saturday 12 December at 2.30pm. Ticket sales start Tuesday 9 June at 7pm Saddlepien is a heartwarming and humorous play about friendship, betrayal, longing and the art of staying afloat when life suddenly changes gears. Sharp dialogues, recognisable situations and moments when you hesitate between laughing and swallowing pass by. Six wayward girlfriends head to France for their annual fanatical cycling week, the infamous Tour de Tîtes. What has always been a carefree tradition turns out differently this time. The familiar togetherness soon turns into a week full of unexpected confessions, clashing emotions and revelations no one saw coming. The actors bluntly show how their longstanding friendship takes a beating, but also how honesty, chansons and a skilled French car mechanic give things air again after all.
