About
Didier is waiting for his ex-wife for Christmas when someone rings his doorbell. A pretty young woman tells him he has won a game… that he didn't play. The Christmas Eve dinner takes a completely different turn. Who is this unexpected visitor?
While he tries to explain himself to the visitor, his ex-wife arrives and demands some clarification about this woman's presence in his home. Angry and offended, she decides to leave. But she won't give up so easily and she returns to the fray. She engages in a ruthless battle with Didier and his visitor. She attacks on all sensitive subjects of life: sexuality, children, age difference, adoption. And then: love.
The ending? It is not what you would expect!
A Christmas for Two is a boulevard comedy. It does not spark melancholy, but rather laughter with every line. It is the 8th play by Didier NOËL. Performed by Magalie MOULANIER, Brigitte SÉROUART and Didier NOËL, it features three characters, all main, alternately trapping and trapped for the greatest joy of the spectator. Sad souls need not apply!
