Don't Dress for Dinner at Heidelberg

Don't Dress for Dinner is a zany farce written by Marc Camoletti (Boeing Boeing). When Jacqueline decides to visit her mother for a few days, her husband Bernard grabs the chance to arrange a cosy weekend with his new mistress in his French countryside home. 

His bachelor pal Robert has just returned from Australia, so Bernard invites him along as an alibi, and also hires a cordon bleu cook to cater a delicious dinner. But when Jacqueline learns Robert is coming to visit everything is turned on its head, and a frenetic farce begins! One impossible situation leads to another as the hapless friend Robert finds himself the target of both amorous attention and wrathful vengeance, while Bernard tries desperately to salvage a scrap of illicit bliss from the wreckage of a weekend.

Directed by Chris McLean, Heidelberg Theatre Company's production features Justin Stephens (Bernard), Eleni Miller (Suzanne, the mistress), Mark Briggs (Robert), Cat Jardine (Jacqueline, the wife), Rhiannon Leach (Suzette, the cook) and Gavin Baker (George, Suzette’s husband).

Production Manager Joan Moriarty heads a behind-the-scenes team including Melanie Belcher as Stage Manager, Deryk Hartwick for Lighting Design, Bronwyn Parker for Properties and Set Décor, Di Brennan and Wendy Drowley covering costumes, and a team of set builders captained by Owen Evans.
