A final pair of performances for Marc Camoletti’s swinging 60s farce, adapted into English by Beverly Cross and Francis Evans) and now it’s getting the Dubai treatment with a H72 production at The Junction. Swinging bachelor Bernard is simultaneously engaged to Gloria, Gabriella, and Gretchen, all flight attendants who don’t know of each other’s existence. But then things get complicated; his friend Robert comes to stay, there’s a recalcitrant housekeeper who has to keep changing the photographs of the fiancées, and complications such as weather and a new, speedier Boeing jet disrupt his careful planning such that all three air hostesses (no one called them ‘cabin crew’ in the 60s) are unexpectedly in Paris – and indeed in Bernard’s flat – at the same time … Cue confusion, confessions, chaos, and near escapes.
There are performances at 2.30 7.30pm.
