One Way-Eutopia presents the British premiere of Best Friends Forever

Through an awkward love triangle between two middle-aged women and a Ghost, Best Friends Forever asks the question: Is the whole world a stage? Is it possible to create our personal stories, and not rehearse the same ancestral scenes? Or we are condemned to repeat the same parts, again and again, over and over, Amen?

The play takes as an example a story of friendship, love and betrayal, and encourages us to think about modern society and politics. How can a person or a society exit from a vicious circle, from what seems as a dark tunnel with no exit? Can a person or a society escape from repeating the same old mistakes, escape from "generations of poison"-social, political and emotional poison- and create something new?

Greek writer and director Ioli Andreadi presents her fourth play, Best Friends Forever. The play explores the relationship between two women, Ilona and Carolina and a Ghost. Ilona visits Carolina at her house; the two women chat; cliches upon cliches keep arising. Then strange sounds are heard; a glass breaks; a door slams shut. They can smell a cigar yet neither of them is smoking. Carolina reveals a secret from their past which leaves Ilona in shock; in a while her dead husband Nicolas will enter the scene to reveal even more. What will Ilona do?

Monday - Saturday at 7.30pm
