It's only the end of the world

de Jean-Luc Lagarce

Présentation

Louis, a terminally ill artist, returns home after a long absence to tell hid family that he is dying. Instead, during this last day with his family, in a merry thanksgiving day like atmosphere of long anticipated reunion, everyone empties their emotional bags. His imminent death stays secret between Louis and the audience.
Although it is a play about one family's inability to communicate, it is wonderfully gentle, optimistic, and funny.
