Don’t Dress For Dinner

3 Male, 3 Female

Marc Camoletti adapt Robin Hawdon Price: $14.95

In a renovated French farmhouse about a two-hour drive from Paris, Bernard is hoping to pack his wife, Jacqueline, away to her mother's for the weekend, in hopes he can romance his mistress, Suzanne, a Parisian model and actress

As an alibi, Bernard has hired a Cordon Bleu-level cook, Suzette, and invited his friend Robert to dinner

While Bernard is upstairs, the telephone rings. Jacqueline answers - it's the Bon Appetit catering agency confirming Suzette is on her way

Then Robert calls and Jacqueline again answers

He tells Jacqueline he is spending the weekend, a fact unknown to her

As Robert and Jacqueline talk on the phone, it becomes obvious that they are having an affair

An hilarious farce occurs as Bernard and Robert try to improvise their way out of confusion after confusion!
