Dan Gallagher is a successful, happily married lawyer and proud family man. By chance, he meets the attractive Alex Forrest, a publisher's editor. The opportunity is there and Dan cannot resist the temptation. A pleasure without remorse, he believes, because the rules of the game were clear from the start.
When it turns out that Alex doesn't want a one-night stand, but a relationship, and she finally tells him that she is pregnant, Dan finds himself in a predicament. Leaving his family is out of the question for him. Alex tries to blackmail Dan with suicide threats and attacks on his privacy. An invisible noose tightens around his neck ...
A supposedly harmless fling escalates into a deadly vendetta. The psychological thriller and cinema classic Eine verhängnisvolle Affäre remains unforgotten.
The theater version is in no way inferior - exciting situations and brilliant dialogues provide a wonderful template for an excellent ensemble of actors. A disastrous affair that we follow breathlessly until the very last minute.
