'El favor', at the Goya theatre: 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 can't make it, so he organizes a dinner party to ask his best friends for a small favor. 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 ironies and jokes, but when Cesc asks them for a favor, it will completely change the tone of the conversation and force them to be absolutely sincere. This will cause arguments and lead them to question what parenthood, family, trust and especially their friendship is, and they will realize that they may not be telling each other everything, that at the end of the day, like almost everyone else, they too have their secrets

This is the synopsis of the comedy El favor, written by Susanna Garachana, the popular actress from Manresa who signed the authorship of this piece and promises to give the audience a great time. In the direction, Xavier Ricart, specialized in pushing the performers to their limits, and on stage four versatile actors, who form a good team: David Marcé, Eduard Buch, Jordi Rico and Marc Rodríguez. Production is by Focus.

The inescapable fatherhood, even if it is delayed, is located in the middle 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?
