Never give advice to your best friend, you might regret it bitterly! This is the observation that Boris will make when Alain tells him that he is trying to break with Julie. Boris who, unlike his friend, is about to marry Claire, advises her to invent a liaison because he is humanly cruel to announce to his wife that we do not leave her for anyone. So when Julie will ask her the fateful question, Alain will follow the advice of her friend and deliver her name…

The tone of the play oscillates between comedy of manners, with a very contemporary subject, and comedy at La Ray Cooney where the lie is king. If the intrigue is crazy and the goal sought for fun, the characters are not soulless caricatures. They have a heart and feel emotions. It remains to conclude this pure fantasy. A good end is an end that makes the public happy. I hope that of a friend's advice responds to this aspiration.
