Description

It is midnight, the hour of truths, the hour that "He" and "She" have chosen to settle their scores.<p> An argument breaks out, and not just any argument, but one that pits two partners against each other, as if in a real boxing match, partners whom more than thirty years of living together have made know each other inside and out.</p><p> Everything is fair game: children, love, parents, ambition, lies, and truths. The exchanges between the spouses are sharp, sometimes irresistibly funny, sometimes heartbreaking. But behind the comedy and the excesses, tenderness and love are never far away...<br><br> Philippe Claudel, president of the Goncourt Academy, paints a jubilant picture of our society in this play and invites the spectator to a domestic scene where all underhanded tactics are permitted.</p><p> Nicolas Briançon, director of successful plays such as "Antigone", "Jacques and his master" or most recently "The Orange Duck", takes the gamble here of provoking laughter with our intimate tragedies.</p>
