This season opener is jam packed with laughs, mayhem, mistresses, and surprises. Directed by Patrick Baranowski, Don’t Dress for Dinner is a classic farce that hurtles along at a breakneck speed, weaving a web of intrigue, marital treachery and dishing up laugh after laugh.
Baranowski, who performed in the 2013 Kimberley production of Don’t Dress for Dinner, has an admiration for the play, “The misunderstandings and the effort put into hiding the resulting fallout creates such an atmosphere of crazy that it is impossible not to laugh.”
The play features Matt Van Boeyen as Bernard, a philandering husband whose weekend dalliance with his sexy mistress, played by Stephanie Moore, is thwarted when wife Jacqueline, played by Matt’s real-life wife, Nikki Van Boeyen, cancels her weekend trip, after learning that Robert, her secret lover played by Bradley McCue, is set to arrive at their country home. Add into the mix newcomer Tessie Ward in the role of chef Suzette, and her intimidating husband George (Ben Phillips), mayhem ensues.
