Members Only

Members Only is a successful play that has been performed around the world, and will be presented for the first time in China. Claustrophobic, off-the-wall, and dramatic, Members Only tells the story of two associates whose relationship turns into a nightmare one evening while having a normal chat. Bernard is a monster, a polymorphous pervert, who can't stand the fact that Adrien, his associate and longtime accomplice may have his own intimate space. Bernard's behavior is obsessive. On the surface he is an educated man, however he is entirely consumed by his obsession to have power over Adrien's universe. Written in 2001 by Fabrice Roger- Lacan, the play has been revived in China by Marianne Badrichani. With comedians Karim Oyarzabal and Lionel Baraban.
