Desire and infidelity take a hilarious turn when a secret affair turns into a comedy of errors rife with double entendre and charades of hilarious proportions. Greg Deralian (ICT's God of Carnage) stars as Bernard, whose plans for a romantic rendezvous with his chic Parisian mistress (Afton Quast - Justin Love at Celebration Theatre) come complete with a gourmet caterer (Karen Jean Olds - American Misfit at Boston Court) and an alibi courtesy of his friend, Robert (Matthew Wrather - Travesties at the Long Wharf). But when Bernard's wife (Amie Farrell - last seen at ICT in Bright Ideas) learns that Robert will be visiting for the weekend, she decides to stay in town for a surprise tryst of her own (with Michael Cusimano - The 39 Steps at Glendale Centre Theatre), setting the stage for a collision course of mistaken identities and outrageous infidelities with more twists than a corkscrew. The cook is Suzette, the lover is Suzanne, the friend is bewildered, the wife is suspicious, the husband is losing his mind - and everyone is guaranteed a good time at this tres amusant romp through the French countryside.
