Bankett Pariisis / Банкет в париже

"The Banquet in Paris" is a romantic comedy that delves into family relationships. A diverse group of individuals from various professions and social standings is invited to dinner at a trendy restaurant in Paris. Among them are a struggling writer who hasn’t published a book, a brash socialite, a renowned author, a successful businessman, a ditzy actress, and an aspiring artist. What could possibly connect these people?

To their surprise, they discover they are all divorced ex-spouses, and they find themselves locked in a room by a mysterious puppeteer. The unresolved issues from their marriages come bubbling to the surface, sparking a whirlwind of emotions filled with sarcasm, love, fear, hope, and desire. It becomes clear that not everything is truly in the past; old feelings resurface with intense vigor, engulfing the characters.

Neil Simon's signature humor and grace resonate beautifully with this narrative. The questions raised by the characters reflect the experiences of anyone who has been in a relationship or married. The play's success has been validated by enthusiastic audiences across the globe over the years.
