DING DONG, or KARMA STRIKES BACK - a marital farce with a rematch!

“DING DONG, or KARMA STRIKES BACK - a marital farce with a rematch!” follows Bernard Marcellin, who discovers that his wife is cheating on him. Instead of starting a row or demanding a divorce, he invites her lover to dinner and gives him an ultimatum. The action unfolds in elegant Paris.

The cast includes a jealous husband, a frightened lover, an overconfident wife, “the one who shouldn't be here,” and a maid who knows more than she should. One lie sets off a chain of others, everyone is hiding something, and the apartment doors keep swinging open, like an action comedy, only in a bedroom-and-marriage version. The play asks whether fidelity can be traded as “compensation,” whether infidelity can save a marriage, and what happens if karma really does come back. It is a farce about passions that spiral out of control and marriages that cannot be repaired. The show is performed across Poland, and one of the characters is a figure that fans of Marc Camoletti's farces have known for years.
