About the show:
Gaby will have it, her dream triplex! Ready to do anything to make her dream a reality, she wants to take over the apartments of Chacha, the eco-conscious neighbor downstairs, and Bernard, the nerdy TV presenter upstairs. Despite the complaints of her husband, Étienne, she organizes a dinner with them. Her plan? To pair them up and send them packing to the suburbs. Gaby and Étienne can then buy out their apartments and create a “dream triplex.” But here’s the thing: Between Bernard and his terrible sense of humor, Chacha and her IQ of a snail, Gaby with the humanity of a piranha, and Étienne’s cowardice, nothing, absolutely nothing, is going to go as planned… The party begins! Misunderstandings, schemes, betrayals, and manipulations—this dinner goes off the rails and will drag each of these characters into a madcap dance! A totally wacky farce with twists and turns! Hilarious!.
Press :
"You'll laugh from beginning to end with this original play where the lies, schemes, and blackmail of the couple steadily worsen throughout the evening. In this play, both lighthearted and fast-paced, the actors share their joy of performing. The staging is impeccable, and the wordplay is plentiful and ironic." - La Guinguette - Dauphiné Libéré, 27/03/17
