The latest show by Joel Joan can now be seen at Teatre Condal. Titled Bons i dolents, it is a bold, no-holds-barred comedy about social hypocrisy that challenges the culture of “toxic niceness” that seems to prevail today while exposing a fundamental truth about human nature: we are all good, until it suits us not to be.
The production, presented by Arriska and Focus, features a script by Joel Joan himself. It is directed by Nelson Valente and stars Joel Joan, Agnès Busquets, Oriol Casals, Nesa Vidaurrázaga, and Ana Gago.
Synopsis
We are all good, until it suits us not to be.
Two couples who have been friends for years get together for dinner. Ricard, married to Clàudia and father of three, is going through a full-blown midlife crisis. He is completely out of control and obsessed with sex, drugs, and reggaeton.
Ricard owes a large sum of money to his best friend, Jesús. But Jesús has not had the guts to demand repayment for years, much to the frustration of his partner, Marta.
What Jesús desperately wants, however, is to have children. Marta already has two from a previous relationship and has no interest in starting over.
Everything is about to change forever when Ricard arrives at dinner with a bombshell announcement:
He is going to be a father again, but this time, Clàudia is not the mother.
