NOBODY PROMISED AN EASY LIFE is the first French comedy of situation which treats the problem of inappropriate love relationships.

The main character of the play has an affair with his student who is an age mate and a friend of his daughter’s and almost 30 years younger than him. At the same time, the ex-wife of the protagonist falls in love with a twice younger man. And the daughter of the protagonist starts a relationship with a mature man… And as it usually goes in a comedy of situation, the father will exchange his daughter’s partner for his ex-wife’s lover and the wife exchanges that very partner for the lover of her ex-husband’s and so on… Of course, the characters are forced to hide the truth from each other, which usually happens when they, in turns, hide unwanted guests in the bathroom every once in a while.
