Don't Dress for Dinner by Robin Hawdon

Don't Dress for Dinner by Robin Hawdon

Comedy / Characters: 3 male, 3 female

Scenery: Interior

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

Hawdon, Robin: - Few people's careers have spanned as many aspects of the show business world as have Robin Hawdon's. From stage, TV, and film actor (who came close to being James Bond), to playwright performed in over forty countries, to West End stage director, to mainstream Theatre Director, to five star novelist, his activities include both triumphs and major setbacks. In the course of Robin's long career he has either worked with, or encountered, some of the most famous names around, and experienced a lively domestic life spread over four different countries, resulting in a wealth of entertaining tales.
