A saucy sixty’s farce on a static set? You’d expect a brittle start as the characters bed-in. Yet what characters! A lothario in his Paris apartment, cosseted by a world-weary maid and abetted by a luckless and loveless school-friend. Then there are three robust lasses all caught up in a fiasco that would defeat Basil Fawlty or Brian Rix. This is a really explosive mix and each of the girls, including the maid, could deliver a killer blow. What are these men playing at? With confident ensemble stage-craft, flawless diction and perfect comic timing, be prepared to laugh all evening!
