Bons I Dolents

A comedy written by Joel Joan and directed by Nelson Valente, in which two couples of friends meet for dinner and an unexpected piece of news upends the evening.

Bons I Dolents is a comedy in which two couples of friends get together for dinner. Ricard, married to Clàudia and father of three children, is going through a midlife crisis that leads him to live with overwhelming impetus, focused on sex, drugs and reguetón. His debt to Jesús, his best friend, and the latter's desire to become a father, set against the reluctance of Marta, who already has two children from a previous relationship, put strain on relations between the four of them.

The plot moves forward until Ricard arrives at the dinner with news that will change things: he is going to be a father again, but Clàudia will not be the mother. The piece sits within the territory of the relationship comedy, with the friends acting as a mirror for their own contradictions.

On the stage of the Teatre Condal in Barcelona, the production brings together Joel Joan, author of the text, alongside Agnès Busquets, Oriol Casals, Ana Gago and Nesa Vidaurrázaga, under the direction of Nelson Valente. It is a co-production by Arriska and Focus.
