Such a hallucinating story that we lose track of time... and we are not alone!
Psychologically rigid, obsessive, puffed up with principles and profoundly honest, Pierre is preparing to conclude the court case of his life, without having the least idea that some of his colleagues are determined to making sure he loses. But suddenly, everything changes: the situation becomes absurd and a very long day begins for Pierre… and the unpredictable character, who will never leave his side.
The play relies on nonsense usually specific to British humour. The tone more delicious for being totally unexpected, is cleverly handled by the playwrights. When the supernatural suddenly bursts in, we have to briefly ask ourselves what is happening. Disorientated for a few minutes, we almost want to turn to our neighbour to get some help! And then we get "it" and let ourselves be taken with delight on this magnificently madcap journey. We plunge into sweet madness, of a caustic humour and in which the comedy of repetition becomes a major art. The experience is wonderful, succeeding in the paradox to make sense out of nonsense while the writing and stage direction, crafted with the extreme precision of a master Swiss watchmaker gives the comedians a razor's edge as a playing field... and a source of literally breathtaking performances.
Theatre is magical and this play proves it!
