""INTRODUCE ME TO YOURS""
 
by Alan Ayckburn
Director: Ivan Urumov
Scenography and costumes Yana Melamed
Featuring: Asen Blatechki, Maria Sapundzhieva, Pepa Nikolova, Nikola Parashkevov
Producer: Viva Arte
Organizer: Teatro Allegroni
 
 

Every relationship has its own story.
He thinks he's going to meet her parents.
She thinks she will be able to cover up her past.
And the "parents" aren't quite sure what exactly he's looking for in them and who she is anyway.
 
At the ridiculous meeting between the four, everyone starts talking about different things, but everyone believes they know the truth, without realizing that they are not talking about the same thing.
Little lies told with good intentions collide with big misunderstandings. And the funniest thing about this collision is that no one is lying at all - everyone is just confused about who exactly they know.
 
""Meet Me with Yours" is a brilliant comedy built on a subtle sense of humor, witty dialogue and unexpected twists. In the world of this play, truth is a matter of perspective, and every encounter is a comedy of errors.
