El maletí o la importància de ser algú

What happens when a radical playwright takes his inspiration from The Importance of Being Earnest? Perhaps the result is El maletí o la importància de ser algú, the story of two homosexual couples who want to have children. Sex, love and business are the themes of a work whose characters range from rentboys to the Teletubbies. The author of such plays as Shopping and Fucking and Some Explicit Polaroids, brought to the Catalan stage by Josep Maria Mestres at the Teatre Lliure, Mark Ravenhill uses extreme language and images designed to shock audiences.
