Topic: Anyone know this show??? Posted: 3/20/06 at 1:30am |
A local theatre instructor at our local university and a member of our board is desparately trying to remember the name of a show that she saw many years ago. She said the show was a riot and thought it would be perfect for our small group.
It starts out with a man who's wife is leaving for the weekend, so he invites his mistress over. However the wife does not leave and the mistress has to play the part of a maid ... and not happy about it. I believe it ends up with a series of 6 to 8 people in a complete door slamming event with all sorts of mistaken identities. Now I realize that this show could be just about every British comedy ever written, but I'm hoping to be able to find it for her. She's been a huge help to our theatre over the last year and if I can find this show for her I believe we our director for the next show. Anyone want to throw out any titles that I can take back to her? Thanks Scott |

Sounds like Don't Dress For Dinner. It's a riot and a cut above the usual bedroom farce. It's actually a translation from French into English.

Sounds like "the Amorous Ambassador" |

Sounds like "Dressed For Dinner" to me too. I saw it a number of years ago and loved it. I agree that it is a cut above the typical bedroom farce. Linda |

Don't Dress for Dinner came up on another board as well. I sent her the link for it (Samuel French) and I think that might very well be the one.
It's also reassuring to hear you guys think it's a good show. Now ... if we can find somewhere other than the church to perform it we may have something. |
