Downstage Left presented Don’t Dress for Dinner, by Marc Camoletti, adapted by Robin Hawdon in November 2019.
Bernard has high hopes for a steamy weekend away with his mistress. He has hired a gourmet chef for the occasion. His friend Robert is ready to cover for him. His wife, Jacqueline, is on her way to her mother’s house. The plan seems too good to be true. It is. Oversights lead to hasty improvisations, which, in turn, lead to hilarious disaster. This show is relentlessly funny.
Don’t Dress for Dinner played on
November 14-17, 2019 at Het Polanentheater, Polanenstraat 174, 1013WC Amsterdam

Whatever you might see for English-speaking plays in 2019, this one you shouldn’t miss. A fast moving, immensely funny and well-written play, you will find yourself often laughing and enjoying this high-spirited craziness. The director, set designer and all the actors did a tremendous job. Treat yourself to a feast of hilarious comedy. Well worth seeing!
