Hello All! Does anyone know if there was a movie of Don't Dress For Dinner ever made? I have been scouring the internet for it and can't find it.
Also, if there hasn't and if anyone would be willing to share a copy of their performance that would also be helpful. We have a couple of people that has never done any acting before and the director is thinking that this might help them out to see it. we would be willing to reimburse if someone has a copy of a movie or a copy of a performance that would be willing to share. This was the only place that i could think of to turn with this one!!
 Thanks in advance!
Don

I am directing "Don't Dress For Dinner" right now. As far as I know there is no movie, and since it breaks copyright laws to video tape, you might not find one of those either. It might be more helpful if they went to see a farce. Are there any theaters near by doing a comedy? You could also rent the movie of "Noises Off" so they get they idea of how fast paced a farce is.
Good luck.

Thanks Linda,
I didn't think there was a movie made, being that I couldn't find it. We have a couple of theatres in our area, and neither of them are doing farce right now. They are doing drama... Smoke on the mountain 2 and an original called Law and Disorder,(which is a comedy i think.....).
I am actually doing the set design for our production of DDFD... Should be an interesting play! It looks and sounds HILARIOUS!!
I didn't think of using Noises Off for the reference! THANKS!!!!!! It would work for the fast pace and timing! (Which is another great show!, one of my favorites!!!!
Thanks!
Don
