Women's Lives Explained to Men
A performance by Mircea Rotar
Duration: 1 h 20 min / Pause: No
Independent performance hosted by the National Theatre in Bucharest. The responsibility for the quality and content of this event lies solely with the organizer!
There are two kinds of men: those who don’t understand women, and those who… pretend they do.
Warning: Any resemblance to your own relationship is by no means coincidental. It’s inevitable!
Men think women are a puzzle. Women know that men haven’t even looked at the picture.
It all starts with a monumental blunder by Rob, who turns an ordinary evening into a battlefield and pushes Betty to the brink of a nervous breakdown.
Enter the “intervention” team:
Greg, Rob’s brother, who’s ready to offer the worst possible advice over a beer, and Cheryl, his wife, who turns female solidarity into a fine art to support her friend.
On two neighboring terraces, the men reinvent logic, while the women dissect reality, armed with a glass of chilled wine and a much clearer view of it.
And when the two worlds collide, the result is a comedy of errors in which everyone is right and no one understands why.
A comedy about the heroic effort to understand the opposite sex, when, in fact, all you have to do is shut up and listen!
A show for women who are tired of explaining and for men who still hope there’s an instruction manual.
They say that behind every successful man stands a woman rolling her eyes.
Come see if it’s true!
