Don’t Dress for Dinner by Marc Camoletti adapted by Robin Hawdon
Featuring Warren Frazier, Celeste Veillon, Mike Katchmer, Trish Dry, Nancy Litton, Paula Elissetche and Thomas Daniel
This boulevard comedy was a smash hit in Paris, where it played for over two years, and in London, where critical acclaim greeted the Apollo Theatre production. Bernard is planing a weekend with his chic Parisian mistress in a French farmhouse. He has arranged for a cordon bleu cook to prepare gourmet delights, is packing his wife Jacqueline off to her mother's, and has even invited his best friend to provide the alibi. It's foolproof; what could possibly go wrong? Suppose Robert turns up not knowing why he has been invited? Suppose Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers? What happens if the cook is mistaken for the mistress and the mistress is unable to cook? An evening of hilarious confusion ensues as Bernard and Robert improvise at breakneck speed.
"Hurtling along at the speed of light, [this] breathtaking farce is a near faultless piece of theatrical invention." Guardian
"Nifty." London Sunday Times
WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
