| Notes | Boeing-Boeing (winner of the 2008 Tony Award, Best Revival of a Play) is a 1960’s fast-paced, sophisticated French farce by Marc Camoletti. The plot features self-styled womanizer Bernard, who has Italian, German and American fiancées, each a beautiful airline hostess with frequent “layovers.” He keeps “one up, one down and one pending” until unexpected schedule changes bring all three (plus Bernard’s old friend Robert) to Paris and Bernard’s apartment, at the same time. |
