'El favor', at the Goya theater: What would you do for a friend?

Cesc is a man in his forties who wants to be a father. He and Clara, his wife, have been trying for years and they are not succeeding, so he organizes a dinner to ask a small favor from his best friends. The four of them are lifelong friends, they love each other and know everything about each other, both the joys and the miseries.

They are used to talking to each other with irony and jokes, but when Cesc asks them for a favor, he will completely change the tone of the conversation and force them to be absolutely sincere. This will provoke discussions and lead them to question what fatherhood, family, trust, and above all their friendship is, and they will realize that perhaps they do not tell each other everything, that in the end, like almost everyone, They also have their secrets.

This is the synopsis of the comedy El favor, written by Susanna Garachana, the popular actress from Manresa who is the author of this piece and who promises that she will give the respectable person a very good time. Under the direction, Xavier Ricart, specialized in pushing performers to the limits, and on stage four versatile actors, who form a good team: David Marcé, Eduard Buch, Jordi Rico and Marc Rodríguez. The production is by Focus.

Inescapable fatherhood, even if it is late, is at the center of this story, between friends who love each other, help each other and, at a given moment, also ask for delicate favors. Because what would you be willing to do for a friend?
