Ca n'arrive pas qu'aux autres Benoît Moret et Nicolas Martinez | | DR |
| | | It all went really fast.
It was a Tuesday. At 8 p.m.
They had come to look at the house.
No one could have imagined what was about to happen.
How can the chemistry between four characters transform a mere house tour into a total nightmare?
And what if it was your bad luck to meet them too?
Experience the full uncensored version of this funny, far-fetched human interest story as if you were there.

| The worthy successors of "Le Père Noël est une ordure"
"In this highly dramatic and caustic comedy, the veneer of propriety is skimmed over, revealing human nature at its most petty, disturbing and pathetic. Two couples that should never have met come face to face in an explosion of resentment, jealousy and humiliation, taking them to the point of no return.
This is not boulevard theater, it's burlesque; unrestrained satire without any limits. It's a screwball comedy, a real bombshell of humor that deserves to become a cult play.
Sandrine Blanchard's Blog, Le Monde, November 5, 2015
The French love a human-interest story
"The staging of Ça n’arrive pas qu’aux autres, like the writing, will take a "hardline" approach. You'll see everything, from the first to last of the drama, as you get inside the people's private lives, like on the show Strip-Tease. The audience will feel like it's watching things it should never have seen. Like watching strangers through a keyhole.
Our goal naturally is to laugh at the drama. As the story progresses, each character reveals his own form of madness, bringing to light aspects of their personalities they themselves would never have suspected. The comic spiral of the play drives them to a total lack of restraint on all levels.
The nightmare has to be credible from beginning to end. Even when certain situations go totally insane, the guiding principle for the staging will remain relentlessly realistic.
Let's be wholeheartedly crazy and the gamble will pay off."
