Mort d’un comediant, the new play by Guillem Clua, directed by Josep Maria Mestres and starring Jordi Bosch, Mercè Pons, and Francesc Marginet, concludes its run at Teatre Romea on June 1.
The play explores the relationship between Llorenç Cardona, one of Catalonia’s most respected and beloved actors, and Adri, his young caregiver. Throughout their time together, Llorenç takes on a wide array of legendary theatrical roles as he forms an increasingly close bond with his caregiver, who eventually uncovers the real reason why the aging actor has sought refuge in theatrical fiction — to escape a reality he is unable to face.
The production has been a true critical success, with reviewers praising Jordi Bosch’s remarkable performance, the strength of Clua’s script, and the precision of Josep Maria Mestres’ direction.
