Comedy in two parts by Marc Gilbert Sauvajon
\nTranslation: Angela Plati<\/p>\n
Artistic direction:\u00a0 <\/strong>Otto <\/strong>Szombati Gille <\/strong> A lively and inventive boulevard comedy, "A Farewell Weekend" speaks with verve about love in marriage and... outside of it. After fifteen years of marriage, Hugh Preston, a successful comedian at the BBC, is faced with a seemingly hopeless situation: his wife, Liz, has fallen in love with John Brownlow and, what's more, is on the verge of running away with him on a romantic trip to Italy. Far from accepting the news and letting himself be crushed, Hugh imagines a stratagem through which all the plans of the newlyweds will be thwarted. With a suspicious gallantry, Hugh accepts the separation, and even offers to assume moral responsibility for the divorce, staging a flagrant crime with his secretary, Patricia Forsyth (Patty-Pat). To carry out the plan, he invites both Brownlow and Patricia to their home, an opportunity to fuel Liz's jealousy and, at the same time, discredits his competitor step by step, until his wife, who is obsessed with adventures, can no longer see him as anything but "a cuckoo". Hugh reveals all the details of the meeting, each knows everything about the other, or, as Liz says, "a love needs a little poetry to live... a little mystery... a little dream...". In the end, Liz understands that her new conquest cannot be compared to the husband she was ready to abandon, confusing the inherent difficulties of a marriage with a real, but non-existent crisis of affection. The ending brings a final comic reversal of situations: the secretary sets off for London with Brownlow, while the Prestons prepare to leave for Italy, on their seventh honeymoon.<\/p>\n Distribution:<\/p>\n Hugh Preston:\u00a0 Ion Abrudan<\/strong> Technical director: Elena Varlam Comedie \u00een dou\u0103 p\u0103r\u0163i de Marc Gilbert Sauvajon Traducerea: Angela Plati Regia artistic\u0103:\u00a0 Otto Szombati Gille Asistent regie:\u00a0 Tiberiu Covaci Scenografia:\u00a0 Alexandru Fazeca\u015f Data premierei:\u00a0 18 mai 1983 Spectacolul s-a jucat trei stagiuni, \u015fi cu titlul \u201eDivor\u0163 \u00een stil englezesc\u201d.
