Boeing Boeing

by: Marc Camoletti, Beverley Cross, and Francis Evans

Marc Camoletti’s farce “Boeing-Boeing” was once listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the most performed French play throughout the world. The English translation by Beverley Cross was first staged in London in 1962 and ran for seven years. Self-styled Parisian lothario Bernard has three fiancées, each unaware of the others, and each a beautiful airline hostess with frequent “layovers.” He keeps “one up, one down, and one pending” – until unexpected schedule changes bring all three to Paris, and Bernard’s apartment, at the same time. Fasten your seatbelts for a “deliciously, deliriously innocent sex comedy.” (The New York Times)
