Premiere at Theater Bielefeld

After fifty years of marriage, Nancy says out of the blue at the dinner table: “I think I want a divorce.” Her husband agrees and continues eating undisturbed. Her two sons, on the other hand, don’t like the decision at all. They try to change their parents’ minds – and in doing so, they are fighting for themselves: one wants to save his image of family, the other fears cracks in his traditional role as a man and soon-to-be father. In the end, despite the divorce, everyone starts talking and listening to each other. And suddenly there it is: the possibility of loving each other!
