Show Synopsis
The Story (such as it is)
Bernard plans a weekend of romance with his lover Suzanne because his wife Jacqueline is
visiting her mother. When Jacqueline learns that Bernard’s best friend – her secret lover Robert
– is coming she cancels her plans and stays home. When Suzette the cook arrives, Robert
mistakes her for Bernard’s lover Suzanne and he now must convince Jacqueline that he,
Robert, is NOT with Suzanne, but THEN Suzette – Bernard’s lover – walks in and within
moments none of them know whose lover is whose and who is sober enough to remember their
particular string of lies and, most importantly, who’s cooking dinner. And if that’s confusing, that’s
just Act I, BEFORE Suzanne’s suspicious, bone-crunching husband George arrives!
This is a funny, frenetically paced French farce that will delight audiences.
You will be expected to read from the script.

Director's Note
This is my first time directing for the The Smiths Falls Community Theatre (I’m fairly new to the area).
I’m really looking forward to it. I have many years of experience as a director and performer and I love
farce because it’s frivolous, silly and very serious business all at once. I hope you agree.
