The Théâtre Edouard VII is proud to welcome English speakers!
The Théâtre Edouard VII has a rich history of celebrating both French and English culture. The venue gets its name from English king Edward VII, « the most Parisian of British kings », and was designed by celebrated English architect William Sprague in the early 20th century. Since this time, the venue has produced celebrated comedies and has become a staple to Parisian boulevard theatre scene.
This Franco-Anglo collaboration didn't end there, however! Since 2015, the Théâtre Édouard VII has partnered with Theatre in Paris to offer performances of French theatre with English subtitles. In this way, international audiences from all over the world are able to appreciate its wonderful French productions without worrying about the language barrier.
Whether you are an English speaker in Paris wishing to discover French theatre, or looking to bring international family and friends for a Parisian theatre night, a performance at the Théâtre Edouard VII with innovative English subtitles is the perfect idea!
Throughout the show English subtitles are projected onto a screen placed directly above the stage, following along with the dialogue in real time. Audience members are placed in specially-selected seats to ensure comfortably visibility of both the subtitles and the action on stage.
Please note that only certain show dates include English subtitles and visibility is optimal from a hand-selected group of seats. In order to ensure a smooth experience for our English-speaking guests, we strongly advise booking your tickets through the Theatre in Paris dedicated platform in English.
Reserving with Theatre in Paris guarantees that you are seated for optimal view of the subtitles. You will also get an exclusive show programme in English upon arrival at the theatre. You can contact Theatre in Paris' team at any time for questions, their English-speaking team is available by phone, email or chat.
Please be advised that booking tickets through any other channel will not guarantee subtitle availability nor ensure an English-speaking customer service.
