“Don’t Dress For Dinner”
(By arrangement with Dominie Pty Ltd)
Written by Marc Camoletti, Adapted by Robin Hawdon
Directed by Susan Vincent
A French Farce
Synopsis: Playwright Robin Hawdon’s recipe for hilarious confusion combines some sexy hanky panky, mistaken identity and of course, dinner in a French country house.
Bernard is eager for a weekend rendezvous with his mistress Suzanne. Thinking that his wife will be gone for the weekend, he invites Suzanne to their country home, as well as a gourmet cook to serve up tantalizing treats and best friend Robert to be his alibi. Much to his dismay, his wife decides to stay home because she has a plan of her own, to rendezvous with her lover Robert.
With the ensuing lies and identities, the plot soon develops more twists than a corkscrew. The madcap acts guarantees that if any of the characters ever fall into bed, all they will be able do is fall a sleep!

Goldoni is made grouse in this colourful and riotous comic masterpiece. Truffaldino doesn’t really think through the problems inherent in having two bosses – especially when they’re unaware of each other’s presence and desperate to get back into each other’s pants. Our hero reckons he’s found a way of increasing his coin and food income on his labour. Or, as he puts it: “two masters, two wages, two dinners – too right!”
