ALL IN. A Serious Comedy
Some people draw, some sing, others play the piano, climb mountains, ride bicycles, or go on long walks. Everyone enjoys life according to their own tastes and possibilities. But when life’s sharp turns throw you out of the boat and, in midlife, you are forced to find a solution, you often hit a dead end.
When, full of determination, you go to the bank to ask for a loan and are refused because you are too old, have no guarantor and no collateral, and despair places its heavy hand on your shoulder, pressing you to your knees, all you can say to the bank director in desperation is:
“If you don’t give me the loan, I will seduce and sleep with your wife.”
What follows is a truly gripping survival battle between two actors.
Who will win? Come and see for yourself!
Director: Intars Rešetins-Pētersons
Cast: Intars Rešetins-Pētersons and Normunds Laizāns or Artis Robežnieks
“Working with Jordi Galceran’s brilliantly written play ‘All In!’ (original title ‘The Credit’), I am always drawn, as a director, to the opportunity to dig deeper beneath the surface. And when you reach the core, the satisfaction is almost always much greater. This time is no exception. Creating this production together with two leading actors of my generation — Artis Robežnieks and Normunds Laizāns — is both a unique experience and a creative challenge. The play is clever — in the best sense of the word. It entertains, shakes you up, and asks questions. Our chosen genre description, ‘a serious comedy,’ is no coincidence. It allows us to talk about serious matters through humor, and vice versa,”
says director Intars Rešetins-Pētersons.
