Viernes

A comedy about a dinner between two couples in Madrid that, amid laughter and glasses of wine, becomes a portrait of the miseries and secrets of its characters.

On any given Friday, two couples sit down to dinner in Madrid. Elsa invites her university friend Lucía, Lucía's partner Thomas, an aspiring playwright, and Alberto. Each character arrives with a need of their own: Elsa wants to feel loved, Lucía wants a party, Thomas asks for stability in their relationship and Alberto hopes the evening will be over as soon as possible.

What begins with laughter and a couple of glasses of wine descends into chaos where nothing is what it seems. The play lays bare the seams, the miseries and the pain that the characters keep to themselves, and the audience attends as a fifth guest at that dinner. It is an X-ray of people who could describe any one of us.

The production presents life, love and friendship as a comedy in which everything depends on one's point of view. It is staged at Espacio Alma, which hosts shows in Madrid.
