About the Play:

Perfect Wedding is a romantic comedy with a touch of farce.  A man wakes up in the bridal suite on his wedding morning to find an extremely attractive naked girl in bed beside him.  In the depths of a stag-night hangover, he can't even remember meeting her.  Before he can get her out, his bride-to-be arrives to dress for the wedding and, in the ensuing panic, the girl is locked in the bathroom. The best man is persuaded to claim her, but he gets confused and introduces the chambermaid to the bride as his date.  The crisis escalates to nuclear levels by the time the mother of the bride and the best man's actual girlfriend arrive.  This rare combination of riotous farce and touching love story has provoked waves of laughter across Europe and America.
