Performances - October / November
by Marc Camoletti, adapted by Robin Hawdon
directed by Penny Dilworth
Bernard is planning a romantic weekend with his chic Sydney mistress in his charming converted Southern Highlands 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; what could possibly go wrong? Well.... suppose Robert turns up not realizing quite why he has been invited. Suppose Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers, and consequently determined that Jacqueline will NOT leave for the weekend. Suppose the cook has to pretend to be the mistress and the mistress is unable to cook. Suppose everyone's alibi gets confused with everyone else's. An evening of hilarious confusion ensues as Bernard and Robert improvise at breakneck speed.
Within seconds we are drawn into a delicious web of marital treachery and hurtling along at the speed of light, this breathtaking farce is a near faultless piece of theatrical invention.
