Calamity befalls the little Vendome Theater in the tenth installment of the sun- and wine-soaked Proven al Mystery Series. Proven al Mystery Series #10Watch the series! Murder in Provence is now on Britbox. When Jean-Marc Sauvet, successful lawyer and the best friend of Aix-en-Provence' s examining magistrate Antoine Verlaque, accepted a small role in a local theater' s summer production of Marcel Pagnol' s Cigalon, he had no idea that the lead actress would be played by the great Liliane Poncet. But Jean-Marc' s excitement about rubbing elbows with one of France' s legendary film stars is quickly extinguished. The lead actor, Gauthier Lesage, is rude and unenthusiastic, and nobody understands how he got the part. Chaos reigns backstage thanks to the absentminded theater director. And everyone seems to be harboring a secret. When one of the actors goes missing for good, it' s up to the soon-to-be-a-father Verlaque and his police commissioner, Bruno Paulik, to untangle the threads of a mystery that seems to get more complicated every day. . .
