Theatre comedy "Friends in Need" by Alan Ayckbourn

The author Alan Ayckbourn takes this as an opportunity to let a wind gather that threatens to topple the facades of the affluent bourgeoisie.
Beat has become a well-to-do businessman who, despite the chronic jealousy of his wife Diana, now seeks success in the conquest of women.
Gion, on the other hand, is not only quite unsuccessful in business and financially dependent on Beat. His marriage to Evelin, who expected far more from their relationship than the recently born son, cannot be considered harmonious either.
Their mutual friend Gaudenz, whose hopes of a great career as a footballer were abruptly destroyed by an accident, flees from one illness to the next and is cared for by his wife Margret - Diana's best friend.
Only the banker Kevin, who left some time ago for professional reasons, seems to have remained the eternal bachelor. Until it turns out that his fiancée drowned.
Diana took this as an opportunity to invite him, and now his visit is imminent. A visit in the course of which the accumulated tensions are discharged, everyone competes against everyone else and many a flashing saber is passed over the tongue.
