Marked by an ever thickening plot of intrigue and social agitation that encompasses all, from the very beginning up to the climax of the performance, overdrama, one of the best Theatre pieces of 2011 according to Sociedade Portuguesa de Autores, was written by Chris Thorpe for mala voadora.
What concerns us all? How to end the financial crisis, marital problems, generational conflicts, the good and bad luck that conditions one's decisions and destiny. Through several seemingly unrelated scenes, small portraits of everyday life highlight recognisable behaviours and social values. All are invited to build the puzzle of this turbulent period we live in today. And what seemed like a series of unconnected stories, ends up revealing itself a single plot.
