Theatre company to put on show Ten Bucks group to present comedy remake

BREWER – Bernard is planning a weekend with his mistress. He has hired a gourmet cook; is packing his wife, Jacqueline, off to her mother’s; and has invited his best friend, Robert, to provide an alibi.

It is foolproof. What could possibly go wrong?

Suppose Robert doesn’t know why he has been invited? Suppose Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers? What happens if the cook is mistaken for the mistress and the mistress can’t cook?

Marc Camoletti’s boulevard comedy for three men and three women was a smash-hit in Paris under the original title “Pyjamas pour Six,” where it ran for more than two years.

Robin Hawdon’s adaptation of the French original premiered in 1991 and played to critical acclaim at London’s Apollo Theatre, and now Ten Bucks Theatre Co., in Brewer will present the fast-paced, nonstop, hilarious farce.

The show runs at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, Jan. 25, 26 and 27; Thursday through Saturday, Feb. 1, 2 and 3; and 2 p.m. Sundays, Jan. 28 and Feb. 4, in the Brewer Middle School Auditorium.

Tickets are $10, $5 for students. College students should show a photo ID.

“Don’t Dress For Dinner” stars Arthur Morison, Hillary Roberts, Chris Franklin, Starsha Schiller, Elaine Daugherty and Patrick Gleason.
