Introduction
From SCENE 1982
The play revolves around the escapades of thre coupples with hilarious results. When Bob Phillips' affair with his bosses wife, Fiona Foster, is in danger of being discovered by their respective spouses, each attempts to avert suspicion by projecting their own infidelity on to a third couple, the totelly innocent and socially retarded Featherstones. the respective spouses, Theresa Phillips and Frank Foster, independantly determine totry and help the hapless Fetaherstones with their supposed problems, but complications run wild when William Featherstone suspects Bob Phillips of seducing his wife.
Sound Complicated? It is, and so is the unique staging of the play when a riotous dinner at the Foster's on Thursday is played simultaneously with dinner at the Phillips on Friday with all three couples continuing their mery misadventures and misunderstandings.
