Foot in the Door: Life X 3

Leave a reply

Foot in the Door presents

LIFE X 3

By Yasmina Reza

Translated by Christopher Hampton

LIFE X 3 presents a night in the life of two couples – Henry and Sonia, and Hubert and Inez. When Hubert (Henry’s boss) and Inez show up at Henry and Sonia’s for a dinner party on the wrong night, problems include lack of food, copiousness of wine, and Henry and Sonia’s petulant six-year-old who won’t go to bed. Over an improvised meal of chocolate fingers, Cheez-Its, and wine, the couples trade insults on every social and professional level, and loyalties are changed as quickly as glasses of Sancerre are drained.

 

Henry – Tyler Walker

Sonia – Elissa Russell

Hubert – Colin Vanderburg

Inez – Mi Kang

Directed by Kelsi Tyler

Assistant Directed by Allison Dillon and Lee Henry
