The birthday

In this hilarious and fast-paced play by British playwright Ray Cooney, a seemingly ordinary young family is suddenly thrown into a whirlwind of chaos and comedy. The story unfolds as Henry Perkins, a modest bank employee and accountant, accidentally comes across a suitcase filled with an enormous sum of money.

What begins as a stroke of luck quickly turns into a frantic race against time. In a matter of hours, Henry’s life—and the lives of those around him - spirals into a madcap adventure of mistaken identities, suspicious characters, and dizzying twists. As the Kazakh proverb goes, «Money has a powerful charm» - and this becomes all too real as the characters' personalities shift and their values are put to the test. The audience is invited to witness how easily human nature can bend in the face of sudden fortune.
