“The Secret of the Pyramid” is a videogame containig an appalling secret. Young Marta and his father, eminent Egyptologist, will discover it at their expenses during the excavations of an Egyptian grave. It is a comedy and a thriller at the same time, with a hint of horror, a perfect mingling for an audience of all ages. It was written for teenagers, who usually don’t go often to theatre, and it was a success. That means that it is not true that for the young theatre is synonymous of boredom, as long as they can get plays suitable for them.
