Description
The French handle three things better than the rest of the world: coffee, bread and atypical relationship arrangements. In this 1960s farce, we meet Bernard-a happily swinging bachelor carrying on three simultaneous affairs without any messy overlap. But complexity ensues when his friend crashes at his pad and his meticulously scheduled rendezvouses get muddled by the faster speeds of new-and-improved Boeing jets. Eventually, all three expectant ladies come to town and Bernard must juggle improvised backstories as he hops from one to the other. This lothario's romp ranks as the top internationally-performed French play and makes a convincing argument against a crowded romantic schedule. (JF)
