A REAL SCOUNDREL

"A Real Scoundrel“ by Pierre Chesnot

A French comedy that, with much humour and self-irony, reveals the funny and daring situations of love and married life. The main character – François Dumoulin, an architect of luxury yachts – decides at 60 to run away with his 27-year-old mistress, leaving his wife. This decision unleashes a string of misunderstandings, jokes and bold confessions.
On stage, the three women in François’s life meet – his current wife Catherine, his ex-wife Betty and his young mistress Barbara. Instead of entering into a love rivalry, they build an unexpected female alliance. The direction of Ventsislav Asenov underlines the ease with which the characters manoeuvre between deception, flirtation and self-irony, turning the story into a fast, entertaining whirlwind. The actors not only act but also sing live, lending the performance lightness and mood – a natural blend of word, music and movement, typically French.
„A Real Scoundrel“ is a theatrical treat for everyone who loves daring, lively and entertaining comedy, where behind the laughter lie human weaknesses, intrigues and the endless search for love.
