THE PLAY This tale of comic predicament and
mistaken identity unfolds with real wit and style. A Portuguese time-share
villa has been double-booked, inknown to the company Rep, the myopic
tippler Commander "Chitto" Chittenden. When Mary and Henry
arrive shortly after Eve and Leslie, Chitto manages to remain unaware
that there is more tha one couple on the scene. The confusion is compounded
when each couple mistakes the other for the servants. Henry seems to
have the upper hand as he discovers that Eve is married,but not to Leslie,
when his mother-in-law arrives and he has to bribe the other couple
to impersonate his alibi, Sir Piers and Lady Marchbanks, Henry's girlfriend,
Mary, has to play the servant, much to her annoyance but it look's as
though things might work out until the real Sir Piers arrives, followed
by Henry's wife. However, the final, hilarious disguises by Mary, Perky,
Eve and Leslie might just save the day! Directed by June Lawrence
