From the celebrated writer of Art, a scathingly hilarious commentary on vanity, professional insecurity, and the vicissitudes of marriage.
Life X 3 presents three versions of two couples (and an offstage six-year-old) trying to make a success of one evening despite the fact that they neither like nor respect one another. When Hubert and In s arrive a day early to dinner at the home of Henri and Sophie, Sophie barely has time to change out of her robe and In s is in a foul mood about a run in her stocking-from there, the evening can only go downhill. Over an improvised meal of chocolate fingers, potato chips, and wine, the couples trade insults on every social and professional level and loyalties are changed with the same rapidity that glasses of Sancerre are drained. However, as she has so astutely done in the past, Yasmina Reza uses these acidic exchanges to illuminate the innate desire for love and acceptance in us all.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Farrar, Straus and GirouxISBN-13:9780571207381ISBN-10:571207383UPC:9780571207381Book Category:DramaBook Subcategory:EuropeanBook Topic:FrenchSize:8.00 x 5.00 x 0.18 inchesWeight:0.2Product ID:SCJ9041NHZ
