About the play

In 2010, Tables and Beds, an unromantic comedy  was selected among 80 plays from 12 countries as the winner of the 4th Premio el Espectáculo Teatral. The play opened during Madrid‘s Alternative Theater Festival to both audience and critical acclaim. Its run in a commercial venue passed the 100- performances milestone and the show went on to tour around Spain.

This revision of the romantic comedy genre is a play about the comedy of falling in love and the tragedy of falling out of love. It's a hilarious dissection of the constant conflict between passion and routine and a tribute to the unconditional love of life-long friends.

When Mar, a reporter from Chicago, learns that a crime has been committed in her old home in Lake Geneva, she decides to go down memory lane to the places where years ago she was happy with her husband Thomas. Mar brings along Tedd, her best friend, who is also starting to feel the pains of boredom in his own relationship with Charlie.

The play takes place in the tables and beds that bring us together and pull us apart; places where past and present, reality and dreams collide; spaces that blur the fine line that separates platonic from erotic love, and romantic love from the profound affection of friendships.
