Season 36 > A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum

Don’t Dress for Dinner

By: Marc Camoletti
Adapted by: Robin Hawdon
Directed by: Christopher Williams

The most requested return engagement of the past twenty years, DON’T DRESS FOR DINNER is written in the style of a classic French farce, full of mistaken identities, rapid-fire dialogue, and unexpected twists. Witty dialogue, funny sight gags and a touch of slapstick are just a few ingredients that make DON’T DRESS FOR DINNER simmer into action. Playwright Marc Camoletti’s recipe for comedic confusion combines some sexy hanky-panky, mistaken identity, and, of course, dinner in a French country house. Audiences will be laughing from start to finish at the antics of these lovable (and sometimes not-so-lovable) characters. Don’t miss this deliciously hilarious night of theatre.
