Comedy in two parts in Madách Theatre, Budapest
4 people, 2 ladies and 2 gentlemen, 2 couples- it does not matter how we identify the main characters of Stroppel’s comedy. As humans, they live, love and sometimes, they even make mistakes. The play introduces the lives of Chuck and Gail, who are preparing to marry, and Jay and Bonnie, two seemingly hyper-independent characters, who are still unmarried, but their friends try their best to put them in touch with each other.
Spectators can have an inner view into the characters’ lives; they can observe the development of Chuck's and Gail’s relationship, their matrimonial conflicts after getting married. The other two characters’ personalities are also scrutinized with some critical aspect and sarcasm. The two couples’ fates are compared and contrasted by Stroppel in a wonderfully humorous and ironical way, ensuring viewers a fantastic entertainment.
In the end of the comedy, the characters are forced to realize that they have to accommodate to each in order to survive life and marriage. They also acknowledge that humor is the essence of life.
