Synopsis

Characters: male 2, female 1

The play tells about the meeting between two old friends. The men decide to cheat on a young woman whom they believe to be gullible by charging too high a price for a run-down flat. However, the woman proofs herself to be cleverer than the men and during the night old scores are being settled. Hard shells and machismo give way to confessions in this American-style fluent studio play.
