In the story, Bernard (Larry Lickteig
of Groton)
is planning a cozy weekend with his mistress. He's booked a Cordon Bleu
cook, and his best friend Robert (John Dingle of Dunstable) will provide the perfect alibi. There's just one slight problem - his wife
Jacqueline! |
| |
|
| Originally scheduled to spend the
weekend at her mother's, Jacqueline (Lezli Whitehouse of Ayer) cancels the trip at the
last minute, throwing Bernard's plans into complete disarray. |
|
| |
|
|
 |
Chaos and
confusion reign as Bernard juggles his wife, his mistress Suzanne (Sandy Munroe
of Dunstable), the cook Suzette (Pat Lawrence of Groton), and the cook's husband
George (Darrell Icenogle of Dunstable) - leaving the hapless Robert to take all the blame!
|
| |
|
| It's an evening filled with mistaken
identities, bribery and deception as plans go disastrously - and
hilariously awry . . . and promises to draw more than a few rounds of
laughter and applause from all who attend! |

Comments from the
Director and Cast:
I am really very
excited about the cast, said Director Christina Chadzynski after the final
casting decisions had been made. They have a good balance of
experience and I am really looking forward to working with them.
Darrell Icenogle
mentioned his surprise at having been selected for the role of George, (a
burly guy who arrives on the scene to pick up his wife, the cook), saying,
I went to the high school to drop my son off at basketball practice, and
the next thing I knew, I had a script in my hands.
John Dingle commented on
his good fortune in landing the role of Robert, since he had shown up at the
auditions late, without any black & white glossy photos and a woefully short
acting resume.
Veteran actor Larry
Lickteig (Bernard) quipped, A production that combines comedy, sex, and
school fundraising? How could I resist? But seriously, the members of the
cast all seem to be very enthusiastic about the play! They have already
begun learning their lines and are working out an aggressive schedule for
rehearsals between now and the end of April. |
