Winner of the Creative Award and the Audience Choice Award at Prague Fringe 2025, Grand Guignol de Milan’s Tales of the Boudoir plunges into the dark side of 19th‑century Italian prostitution with three gripping vignettes: “The Butcher,” “The Mysterious Client” and “Scandal.”
Set in a candlelit boudoir and inspired by true criminal cases, the play invites the audience into a journey of seduction, danger and hypocrisy.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This show is powerful, funny and engaging. It will make you laugh, cry and everything in between.” - Binge Fringe
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “... a whirl of physicality, drama, storytelling, comedy and slapstick.” - Broadway Baby

The show blends gothic humour, raw emotion and theatrical flair. From macabre farce to moments of tragic intimacy, each chapter lays bare the power struggles of a shadowy world where desire and deceit intertwine.

With biting irony and heightened aesthetics, Tales of the Boudoir revives the Grand Guignol tradition: intense, provocative and impossible to look away from.
