Synopsis

Boeing-Boeing is a classic farce written by the French playwright Marc Camoletti. The English language adaptation, translated by Beverley Cross, was first staged in London at the Apollo Theatre and transferred to the Duchess Theatre, running for a total of seven years.

Bernard thought he could easily cope with his three air hostess fiancées. It was all a question of timetables and a reliable, down-to-earth maid who never forgot to change the photographs in the bedroom.

Only when the ‘Super’ Boeing takes over he is landed with a triple problem on his hands. His old school friend, Robert arrives unexpectedly in Paris and joins the set in a hilarious whirl of confusion and matchmaking.
