stan & bren and a double-booked hotel room


A Bedfull of Foreigners, Gibsons Heritage Playhouse
Thursday 10th to Saturday 12th February, 8:00pm
(mat Feb 12 at 2pm)

The farcical British comedy, A Bedfull of Foreigners, which was brought to stage late last year by the Peninsula Players is back by popular demand tonight through Saturday.

Set in a French hotel in a small village near the German border, holiday-makers Stanley Parker and his wife Brenda find themselves sharing a double-booked hotel room with a British businessman, his German wife…AND his French mistress!

Adding to the confusion, are a hotel porter, who may or may not have been born in Lapland and subsequently joined the Foreign Legion and a lustful German hotel manager in Renaissance costume and a strangely high singing voice.

If you've been suffering from Fawlty Towers withdrawals for the past 30 years and the repeats just haven't been enough for you, then make sure you catch A Bedfull of Foreigners. It's British slapstick comedy at its best - mistaken identities, inefficient staff, hasty cover-ups, seductions and confrontations all run rampant throughout the play which is supposedly pretty darn hilarious (if a little dated).
