Theatre play “The Dinner game”
“The dinner game” is a story that comments French high society that already has everything one can wish for and in its boredom creates situations that will allow them to mock the less successful and less fortunate. The theme looks at the ground reasons that make people happy and the perspectives that allow happiness. In the play, a man from the high society after a series of misfortunes end up having dinner with a member of the group he was planning to mock. In this farce the questions of true values arise juxtaposing material riches and place in society versus empathy and honesty. This story looks at the rich and poor, socially acceptable and socially inadequate, and the nuances that show that happiness is an abstract concept that we have no control over.
