Una Idea Genial

A comedy of mix-ups in which a man hires an amateur actor to pose as an estate agent at a dinner and so test his suspicions about his partner. It is staged at the Teatre Goya in Barcelona.

Arnau suspects that his wife, Mariona, is having a relationship with Oriol, the estate agent handling the search for their flat. To find out, he hires Tomás, an amateur actor who looks exactly like Oriol, to take his place during a dinner. The aim is to watch Mariona's reaction and confirm or rule out the suspicion.

The plan becomes complicated when the agent, his double and his twin brother, a plumber who comes to fix a leak, end up face to face. Three men with the same face and a nosy neighbour turn the mix-up into a series of misunderstandings, and the original idea no longer seems so brilliant.

This is a comedy of mix-ups with a simple setup and a plot driven by the confusions between the characters. The show is staged at the Teatre Goya, a Barcelona theatre devoted mainly to staging plays.
