Bernard is planning a romantic weekend with his chic Parisian mistress in his charming converted French farm-house, whilst his wife, Jacqueline, is away. He has arranged for a cordon bleu Chef to prepare gourmet delights, and has even invited his best friend, Robert, along - to provide the alibi. It's foolproof; what could possibly go wrong? Right? Well.... Suppose Robert turns up not realizing quite why he has been invited. Suppose Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers, and when she sees Robert, they determine that she will NOT be leaving for the weekend. Suppose the Chef has to pretend to be the mistress and the mistress, who is unable to cook, has to pretend to be the Chef. Suppose everyone's alibi gets confused with everyone else's. Suppose there’s another surprise guest. Simmered together, you have a delicious evening full of hilarious confusion as everyone tries to blend together all the improvised arrangements at break-neck speed.

Bernard is planning a weekend with his chic Parisian mistress in a French farmhouse. He has arranged for a cordon bleu cook to prepare gourmet delights, is packing his wife Jacqueline off to her mother's and has even invited his best friend to provide an alibi. It's foolproof; what could possibly go wrong? Suppose Robert turns up not knowing why he has been invited? Suppose Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers? What happens if the cook is mistaken for the mistress and the mistress is unable to cook? An evening of hilarious confusion ensues as Bernard and Robert improvise at breakneck speed.

"Hurtling along at the speed of light, [this] breathtaking farce is a near faultless piece of theatrical invention." - Guardian
