A drama teacher, who had his moment of glory but who now loves whiskey too much, has the task of coaching an amateur actress who dreams of landing a main role in Romeo and Juliet. After a fictitious audition and a meeting are arranged and engineered by the actor’s brother, who wants him to regain a taste for the profession, two worlds collide: a young actress full of hope and a disillusioned comedian.

Playwright Clément Koch delights in retelling the trade secrets of the acting profession in a show both funny and tender, and in tune with the times.
