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!

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!
