ROLE-PLAYING GAMES. A Tasteful French Comedy | Ventspils

Playwright Éric Assous’s witty comedy “Role-Playing Games” (original title “Sharp Turns”), which has delighted audiences and critics in many parts of the world, will return to audiences throughout Latvia this autumn.

Pierre is a family man and the commercial director of a company that manufactures camera lenses. While his wife and son have gone on holiday to a ski resort, the director decides to invite a young woman he happened to meet in a bar to his home. In the prime of middle age, he decides to taste the “forbidden fruit” for the first time, embarking on a promising flirtation. But nothing goes as planned, and the events and unexpected twists of that night will change Pierre’s life forever.

“When directing plays, two things have always been important to me: outstanding drama and great actors. This time is no exception. I chose Éric Assous’s play because the author has an excellent command of the comedy genre and, in my opinion, when there is more than enough gloom all around us, tasteful humour is something everyone greatly needs,” says the production’s director, Intars Rešetins-Pētersons.
