The play that is generating the most debate everywhere.

Summer of 1983. The famous English writer Roald Dahl is reviewing the proofs of his latest book, which is about to go to print, but the scandal caused by a recently published antisemitic article does not seem to subside. Over the course of a single afternoon at his home, faced with an unexpectedly belligerent interlocutor, Dahl is forced to choose between publicly apologizing or risking his fame and reputation.

José María Pou embodies Roald Dahl, the eccentric internationally renowned writer, author of hits like Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and The Witches, who saw how controversial statements he made inflamed the press, impacting his reputation, with unpredictable consequences.

Directed by Josep Maria Mestres and based on true events, Mark Rosenblatt's play offers a multifaceted portrait of a terribly charismatic literate and explores, with sharpness not devoid of humor, the difference between reasoned opinion and the dangers of rhetoric dictated by prejudice.
