Show «A brilliant idea»
A brilliant idea starts with an apparently simple suspicion and turns it into a precision comic mechanism ready to spin out of control at any moment. Arnau believes his wife is having a relationship with the estate agent looking for them a flat and, convinced that he needs proof, finds a solution that seems perfect: hire an actor identical to the suspect to replace him during a dinner.
About this event
The plan, on paper, seems flawless. The problem comes when the real agent appears, then his double and, as if the chaos needed a further push, the actor’s twin brother too, a plumber who had only come to fix a fault. From then on, logic disappears and confusion takes control.
Winner of two Molière Awards, this comedy turns misunderstandings and crossed identities into a dizzying game where each new appearance complicates an already impossible situation even more. Between opening doors, secrets, suspicions and an overly curious neighbour, the play shows that some brilliant ideas take only a few minutes to turn into a memorable disaster.
In Catalan and lasting 90 minutes, A brilliant idea celebrates the pleasure of great farces taken to the limit.
