The Gift
Description:... Businessman Ahmet Gur is left head to head with hostess Ayse because the guest he is waiting for from Japan is three hours late. But is three hours enough to spice up two people's lives? The Gift is Yakup Almelek's sixth play. In the everyday give and take between people in their personal and professional lives, where is the line between mutual self-interest and mutual altruism? The exchange of gifts forges special bonds between people. It cements existing relationships and paves the way for new ones. Is there ever such a thing as a free gift with no strings attached? If not, what lies hidden at the end of the chain of exchange and reciprocation? Without departing from the realm of realism, the events and characters on stage are all choreographed by a character who, having died before the events of the play, is completely absent, yet whose writing continues to control the living from beyond the grave.
