BOEING, BOEING

Written by Marc Camoletti
Directed by Stephen Emmerick

Boeing, Boeing is a classic farce written by the French playwright Marc Camoletti. The English language adaptation was first staged in London at the Apollo Theatre in 1962 and ran for a total of seven years. In 1991, the play was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the most performed French play throughout the world. Set in the 1960s, bachelor Bernard couldn't be happier: a flat in Paris and three attractive stewardesses all engaged to him without knowing about each other. But Bernard’s life gets bumpy when his friend Robert comes to stay, and a new, speedier Boeing jet disrupts his careful planning. Soon all three stewardesses are in the city simultaneously, timid Robert forgets which lies to tell to whom, and catastrophe looms.
