The legacy left from recordings and films serves to remind us of a monumental talent , the loss of which is still mourned in France after 40 years . Piaf is a musical homage to the first lady of French song , depicting a short life of triumph and tragedy.| 29 May 01 to 2 Jun 01 | The Ramshorn Theatre Glasgow Performance Details => Venue archive |
