Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Stéphane Plaza was primarily known as a TV real estate personality before this; critics called his stage debut 'surprisingly vicious.'
The 'fusible' (fuse) title works triple-duty: electrical failure, Paul's nervous breakdown, and the friendship's breaking point. French wordplay hits different.
