Parejas

A reunion dinner between two former university friends, each joined by their partner, becomes the centrepiece of this sound fiction comedy about personal relationships and differences in social status.

Two friends who studied together and have not heard from each other in years decide to meet again, each with their partner, at a luxury restaurant. The evening begins formally but grows more complicated as the very different paths their lives have taken come to the surface, along with old grudges that were never resolved.

The show is presented as a sound fiction comedy, a format in which the story is built from sound and the spoken word. Clashes of social class and secrets from the past gain weight as the dinner goes on, with twists that the audience discovers as the conversation unfolds.

The production offers an incisive and close look at how we relate to one another today, both in friendship and in couples. It is designed for those who enjoy comedy of awkward situations and humour that arises from the tension between characters.
