A hilarious farce which is not totally harmless. Baby's dad's problem is to sell chamberpots to provide the soldiers with the comfort they deserve! But the very day M. Follavoine meets Mr Chouilloux, an important public servant from the Ministry of Defence, coming to make the deal of a lifetime, Baby Toto refuses to go to the toilet! So his mother Julie has got to give him a purgative, but Toto objects. A mad, mad story, involving a long-suffering maid Rose, a strained marriage, a love triangle, Follavoine throwing a chamberpot through the room to test its solidity, his wife trying to get his client to have a little purgative too (so Toto will understand he must take some)… Not only is the deal not made, when the famous article is shown to be fragile like glass and Chouilloux learns that his wife Clémence is cheating on him with her cousin Horace Truchet, but Toto has still not been purged … VENUE The Open Stage 757 Swanston Street, Parkville 3052 Melways Ref: 43 H4 (corner Grattan Street) DATES TUES 27 AUG TO SAT 2 SEP 2006 GALA NIGHT: Fri 1 Sep at 8.00 pm Preview: Tues 27 Aug at 8.00 pm ALL tickets Preview only $17.00 Evenings: Weds 28 Aug to Sat 2 Sep inclusive at 8.00 pm Matinees: Fri 1 & Sat 2 Sep at 2.30 pm ALL PRICES $25, $20, $17 & $10 INCLUDE A PROGRAM
