Comedy “Dinner for Idiots”. A play based on Francis Veber’s work in Nuremberg (Germany)
A cult French comedy by the Riga Touring Theatre “Ā”!
🏆 A masterpiece of world comedy
“Dinner for Idiots” is a sparkling play by Francis Veber, author of the beloved comedies “The Toy”, “The ComDads”, and “The Dinner Game”. For more than 30 years, this play has captivated theatre audiences around the world. It is one of the brightest and most successful comedies of situation with impeccable French humor, one you want to watch again and again!
🌍 About the production and unique cast
The performance is presented by the Riga Touring Theatre “Ā”. For this production, an outstanding international cast was assembled — the most talented actors from Estonia, Latvia, Ukraine, and Cyprus share one stage.
A special pride of the production is the Estonian comedy duo Sergey Rymar and Boris Bogdanov. Their energy and remarkable stage presence turn every performance into a true gem of the comedy genre. These actors are incredibly funny!
📖 Plot: when brilliant intellect meets genius stupidity
Every Wednesday, a group of wealthy snobs hosts an unusual dinner. The rule is simple: each guest must bring an “idiot”. The one whose guest is the most ridiculous wins a prize. Publisher Pierre Brochant is confident in his victory, as he has found an astonishing idiot — François Pignon. Pierre anticipates an evening full of mockery, but has no idea that within a few hours this Pignon will completely ruin his life.
