Description

After the hilarious "Family Council", "Friends", and other plays that have become essential, Amanda Sthers returns to the theatre with a new comedy that is as tasty as it is explosive: The Roast.<p> Jérôme and Mélanie, a Parisian bourgeois couple, invite two friends to dinner: Julie, a sparkling single woman who enjoys one-night stands, and Medhi, a charming yet discreet office colleague.<br> Everything seems perfect... until Medhi refuses the main course: a roast pork, which he cannot eat for religious reasons.</p><p> And then, the evening takes a turn for the worse! Between awkward moments, truths blurted out and nervous laughter, tongues loosen and certainties crumble.<br><br> With her biting humor and lively writing style, Amanda Sthers transforms a dinner among friends into a mirror of our unease, our beliefs and our contradictions.<br> The Roast questions our tolerance, our relationship with others, and those subjects that we always avoid putting... on the table.<br><br> A text full of wit, tenderness, and some very painful truths.</p>
