A Bedfull of Foreigners

By Dave Freeman

Directed by: Geoff Banwell

This rioutous farce follows the antics of two English couples on holiday in France.

Unfortunately they have hit upon the Festival of Saint Wolfgang, so the Hotel Heinz is the only hotel that's not full. The manager is an expatriate German and the head porter a middle-European former French Foreign Legionary - and things start to unravel when Stanley and Brenda are booked by the manager into the last available room; shortly afterwards the same room is booked out by the head porter to Claude.

Claude, however, is expecting not his wife Helga but his, er . . . very good friend Simone, a French night-club dancer. Needless to say, Helga turns up anyway and the resulting complications involving an (unseen) Bulgarian lady cyclist, a sticking wardrobe door, and the ritual burning of Saint Wolfgang. 

.....All of which leaves Stanley wishing they'd gone to Skegness!
