BOEING-BOEING

a French farce by Marc Camoletti, adapted by Beverley Cross

June 17, 2010 – August 28, 2010

“One up, one down and one pending!”
The English adaptation of this French farce features self-styled Parisian lothario Bernard juggling three fiancees, each beautiful airline hostesses with frequent layovers in Paris. Bernard’s carefully constructed timetable runs like clockwork until unexpected schedule changes bring all three to his apartment at the same time, and his “ideal life” unravels all in one nonstop night.

PRESS QUOTES

”The cast of this Purple Rose production of Boeing-Boeing has the audience in stitches from start to finish. … Everything about this production – the costumes, set, music and lighting – is spot on. … And the entire cast pops in and out of doors like an elaborate Swiss clock; it’s just fun to watch.”

– Detroit Theatre Examiner

”Director Nathan Mitchell gives us a rollickingly funny production of Beverley Cross’ adaptation of what might be the funniest French farce ever. … It is a production in which absolutely everything is done exactly right, and it is a true delight.”

– Detroit New Monitor
