Christopher Hampton, Yasmina Reza, Yasmina Reza
Henri and Sonia are putting their son to bed when Hubert and Inez arrive for dinner, a day earlier than expected. As the evening degenerates, Yasmina Reza’s play – elegantly translated by Christopher Hampton – blends cruel observations with high comedy in an hilarious and poignant examination of our most personal intimacies and private longings. Life X 3 presents three versions of the same socially hapless evening in which the characters change subtly each time, providing a dramatically different outcome for each.
