Akis Dimou’s new play is a black comedy about three guys who live together, brooding and depressed, the only thing that keeps them going is the girl who lives in the flat on the block opposite. After many arguments and much obsession, they finally work up the courage to invite her round, with flowers, but what kind of flowers? Expensive roses or cheap and horny carnations? The play combines clever comedy with a deep thought provoking subtext.
