A Bedfull Of Foreigners

A comedy by DAVE FREEMAN

Spare a thought for Englishman Stanley Parker. He and his wife Brenda are on their first continental holiday in France, trying to rekindle their marriage.

When they check in to a quaintly charming hotel, they feel set for a night of love and romance, but what could possibly go wrong? Oh … everything!

Unfortunately for Stanley and Brenda, the calamitous Hotel Manager, Heinz, has foolishly double-booked the room with French birthday boy Claude Philby. Claude gets more than his fair share of cake when his German wife Helga unexpectedly turns up. He was expecting his glamorous mistress and cabaret artiste, Simone. And when Simone also arrives early and mistakenly performs a seductive dance for the unwitting Stanley, it’s our innocent Brit, rather than randy Claude, who’s going to have his hands full … in more ways than one.

Throw into the confusion a befuddled hotel porter, Karak, and the absurdity of a local fancy dress festival, which ensures nuns, monks and court jesters running amok, and the pace is set for an evening of comic misunderstandings, bed hopping, lost trousers and airborne radiators!

Dave Freeman’s play is a side-splitting farce that has delighted audiences around the world and is sure to have you rolling in the aisles! Don’t just book … Double book!
