Event location: Comedy Theatre.
 A comedy by Marc Camoletti and Beverley Cross
Boeing-Boeing is a side-splitting farcical comedy which originally opened in London in the mid-1960s, and held the World Record for being the longest running comedy in London’s West End, playing over 2,000 performances. This sexy new, ’tongue-in-cheek’, production, will be stylishly 60s retro, and star some of our greatest and most exciting leading actors - usually known for their classic roles in theatre, film and television.
Boeing- Boeing is set to be one of the most extraordinary and mischievously funny productions for many years. Bernard (Roger Allam) is an English playboy in Paris with an insatiable appetite for beautiful woman. His three girlfriends are all air hostesses - working for a variety of different airlines - however, each believes she is his one true love, and accordingly they must never meet. Bernard has devise a sophisticated timetable to organise his love affairs so they can each spend the night at his apartment whenever they stop over in Paris. Bertha (Frances de la Tour), Bernard’s long suffering and faithful housekeeper, has a hard time managing his complicated love life, preparing special diets for each woman and generally keeping track of what is going on. Everything proceeds like clockwork, until the arrival of the new ’Super Boeing’ (at double the speed), which changes the schedules of the airlines, and Bernard suddenly has a lot of explaining to do! His old school friend Robert (Mark Rylance) arrives unexpectedly from England and unwittingly joins them in a hysterical whirlwind of mayhem and matchmaking!
BOEING-BOEING is directed by Matthew Warchus, one of UK’s leading directors who has had numerous critical hits at the National, RSC, West End and Broadway. Designs are by Rob Howell.
