Don't Dress for Dinner
Presented by Woy Woy Little Theatre
Fri, 27th October to Sun, 12th November in 4 weeks. Peninsula Theatre, Woy Woy. Tickets $8 to $30
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; 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.
Don't Dress for Dinner is a comedic play written by French playwright Marc Camoletti. The play features a cast of colorful characters, including Robert, a friend of Bernard's who is also secretly having an affair with Jacqueline, and Suzette, a cook who becomes embroiled in the chaos. With fast-paced dialogue, witty banter, and plenty of mistaken identities and plot twists, Don't Dress for Dinner is a comedic romp that will keep audiences guessing until the very end.
