Espèces menacées (Endangered species)

To kick off the year 2025, Combédie offers you a comedy full of misunderstandings, outrageous situations, and colorful characters (in french).

Play by Ray Cooney, adapted by Michel Blanc and Gérard Jugnot, directed by Catherine Grand.

On his birthday, Yvon accidentally swaps his accountant’s briefcase with that of a stranger on the RER and discovers millions inside. He decides to fly to Buenos Aires, Argentina, to start a new life in the sun. But he didn’t count on his wife’s stubborn refusal, the successive intrusions of an inconvenient couple of friends, a dubious police officer, a fussy commissioner, an irritable taxi driver, and the arrival of a killer determined to get his due…
