a farce
This 1960's French farce features a glamour-boy architect who simultaneously juggles French, German and American fiancees, each beautiful airline hostesses. Tracking their airlines' timetables and scheduling non-convergent "layovers", he keeps "one up, one down and one pending" until unexpected schedule changes, and introduction of a faster Boeing jet, bring all three to Paris and his apartment at the same time. The result is a side-splitting unraveling of his careful, romantic planning.
The play won the 2008 Tony Award for "Best Revival of a Play". A Hawaii premiere.
