About the Show:

Bernard is planning a romantic weekend with his chic Parisian mistress in his charming converted French farmhouse whilst his wife, Jacqueline, is away. He has arranged for a cordon bleu cook to prepare gourmet delights and has invited his best friend, Robert, along too to provide the alibi. It’s foolproof! Whatcouldpossiblygowrong? Well, suppose everyone who shows up, including Jacqueline, has an alibi and they all get confused with everyone else’s! An evening of hilarious confusion ensues as Bernard and Robert improvise at breakneck speed.

Critic's Corner

“The labyrinthine twists and turns are liberally sprinkled with jokes, amiably roared to keep everyone giggling... It gives the whole cast the chance to enjoy themselves going over the top... The performance is a delight.”

Daily Telegraph

“Hurtling along at the speed of light, this breathtaking farce is a near faultless piece of theatrical invention. Within seconds we are drawn into a delicious web of marital treachery which accelerates with classic symmetry to an all-star denouement.”

The Guardian

“The good times are back at the Royal George Theatre... A series of rib-rousing strokes. All night long. Better yet, you don’t have to suspend your intelligence... In a comedy of confusion that almost collapses under the weight of duplicity, mistaken identity, and extramarital affairs, but somehow stays in the air like a precarious but well-built souffle.”
