six character farce, featuring 3 men and 3 women just never stops
coming at the audience with identity switches and surprises. The
writing is a gift to actors involved in this madcap pace. Here’s what
the Guardian had to say about it, “Hurtling along at the speed of light
Marc Camoletti’s breathtaking farce is a near faultless piece of
theatrical invention …”</span></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;font-family:"gill sans";min-height:15px"><span style="font-kerning:none"></span><br></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;font-family:"gill sans""><span style="font-kerning:none">Bernard

home when his wife goes to care for her ailing mother. In preparation
he hires a gourmet cook to make the weekend special AND invites his
unsuspecting best friend as an alibi. </span></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;font-family:"gill sans""><span style="font-kerning:none">As things go awry Bernard becomes increasing unraveled and spilled upon, requiring many changes of shirts!! </span></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;font-family:"gill sans";min-height:15px"><span style="font-kerning:none"></span><br></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;font-family:"gill sans""><span style="font-kerning:none">Jacqueline
—40s-60s. Bernard’s wife’s plans change when she hears that Robert,
Bernard’s best friend, is coming for the weekend because of an affair
that they have begun. Stunned and confused by the behavior of both her
paramour and her husband as the evening unfolds, she slowly catches on
to the truth of the situation, or does she? </span></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;font-family:"gill sans";min-height:15px"><span style="font-kerning:none"></span><br></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;font-family:"gill sans""><span style="font-kerning:none">Robert
— 40s-60s. Poor Robert is ambushed again and again as he first learns
of Bernard’s real plans, then discovers that his own mistress (Bernard’s
wife) will, indeed, be there. Out of necessity he assumes several
different identities as he scrambles desperately to make it through the
evening. For poor Robert, it’s an uphill battle. </span></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;font-family:"gill sans";min-height:15px"><span style="font-kerning:none"></span><br></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;font-family:"gill sans""><span style="font-kerning:none">Suzanne—
30s-50s. Bernard’s Parisienne mistress arrives and is immediately
mistaken by Robert as the gourmet chef, a role she must try to play out
as the evening progresses. She is ill suited for that task as is soon
evident her her frustration elevates. Since she is a model, Suzanne must
be able to carry herself off as such even in the midst of confusing
role playing. </span></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;font-family:"gill sans";min-height:15px"><span style="font-kerning:none"></span><br></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;font-family:"gill sans""><span style="font-kerning:none">Suzette

mistress. She definitely plays this role with relish, despite initial
confusion over the evening’s goings on. Quite the entrepreneur, Suzette
benefits monetarily from the ruse and loves every minute of it, rubbing
it in whenever possible. </span></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;font-family:"gill sans";min-height:15px"><span style="font-kerning:none"></span><br></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;font-family:"gill sans""><span style="font-kerning:none">George—

the play. He is somewhat surprised when faced with the events of the
evening to say the least. George must be physically imposing and
capable of using some of that muscle in a theatrically safe way, of
course!!<br><br></span></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;font-family:"gill sans""><span style="font-kerning:none">Performance dates: April 20 - May 7.<br><br></span></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;font-family:"gill sans""><span style="font-kerning:none">For more information, contact director Pat Price at </span>joeandpatprice<wbr>@<a href="http://centurytel.net">centurytel.net</a></div><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">Workshop Players</span><br style="font-family:georgia,serif"><font style="font-family:georgia,serif">44820 Middle Ridge Road, Amherst, OH 44001
