A hilarious display of adults whose facade of civil behaviours is falling apart and everybody is attacking everybody in the course of the play.
Alain is a lawyer, representing a pharma company that is selling a drug with severe side effects and who is constantly on the phone. His wife Annette ("wauwau") is loosing it and is even puking. Vero ("Darjeeling") is an author of books about African nations and needs to discuss everything. Her husband Michel is a hardware wholeseller who pretends to be nice at all times just to reveal his true nature.


A brilliant, highly entertaining and spot on characterization of adults.
