Have you been craving a French comedy with sexy hanky-panky, mystery, mayhem and madness for your night out?  Here is your chance!    After the huge success of our last production, "Dinner", our chefs have gone back into the kitchen and whipped up a brand new appetising feast for your delectation (but this time without the primordial soup!)

Don't Dress For Dinner is a comedic concoction involving a married couple, an old friend, a voluptuous mistress and an outlandish cook who's enlisted to take on different identities in a succession of lies, deceptions and misunderstandings. The comedy begins when Bernard plans the perfect romantic weekend with his mistress. He has sent his wife off to her mother's, hired a gourmet cook and invited his best friend to provide an alibi. What could go wrong?  But it's not quite the foolproof plan Bernard thought, as nothing  goes quite according to plan in this comedy of mistaken identities, misunderstandings and deceptions.

This popular farce, loosely based on an original play by Marc Camoletti, ran for six years in the West End and has been performed all over the English speaking world.
