Autumn 2010 Production...

Ding Dong by Marc Camoletti adapted for the English stage by Tudor Gates, directed by Isobel Shippey

Our next production, to be presented at the Angles Theatre between 12 October and 16 October, will be Ding Dong by the French playwright Marc Camoletti, best known for his classic farce Boeing-Boeing, which was performed by the Players back in 1967!

Ding Dong is set in the Paris apartment of the Marcellins, and Bernard has discovered that his wife, Jacqueline, is having an affair with Robert.  Being a reasonable businessman, Bernard gives Robert two options to compensate for the affair: either he will sleep with Robert's wife in order to keep things even, or he will have him killed!

Needless to say, Robert chooses to let Bernard sleep with his wife. Scheming to wood her, Bernard arranges an evening meal and both couples present - much to the frustration of their overworked and underpaid maid, Marie-Louise.  However, instead of bring his wife to the dinner, Robert pays Barbara, a call girl to pose as his wife for the evening.  Meanwhile, Jacqueline does not know that Bernard has found out about her affair, and is stunned to learn that their dinner guests are in fact her lover and, supposedly, his wife.  The situation then becomes even more hilarious and confusing when Robert's actual wife, Juliette turns up for dinner!
