AMOR É ASSIM…

There are secrets that seem perfect… until the day everything starts to go wrong.

Joaquim Baião leads an apparently exemplary life. Organised, punctual, and methodical, he manages to maintain, without arousing anyone’s suspicion, two homes, two routines, and two wives: Bárbara Baião and Prazeres Baião. For years, his plan works perfectly.

But a minor unexpected event is enough to bring his carefully constructed balance crashing down. From that moment on, one lie leads to another, with unexpected phone calls, overly curious neighbours, persistent police officers, and a friend who is completely incapable of keeping his story straight. The result is a dizzying chain of misunderstandings that turns the impossible into one of the most brilliant comedies ever written.

Amor É Assim… is the Portuguese adaptation of Run for Your Wife by Ray Cooney, one of the most successful comedies in theatre history. Following an extraordinary nine-year run in London’s West End, the play reached Broadway and conquered major stages around the world. Translated into dozens of languages and performed in more than 50 countries, it has been brought to life by some of the world’s greatest actors and theatre companies, captivating millions of spectators and establishing itself as a true international phenomenon.

Starring João Baião, this major production also features Cristina Oliveira, Mané Ribeiro, Luís Garcia, João Frizza, João Lopes, and Susana Cacela, with direction by João Baião and Fernando Gomes.

A vibrant, contemporary, and irresistible production, where humour, a frantic pace, and an unstoppable succession of surprises promise to captivate audiences from the very first minute to the last.

An unmissable show. Because some secrets can last a lifetime… until someone rings the doorbell.
