London Classic Theatre announce tour and full cast of BOEING BOEING

London Classic Theatre have announced a new tour of Marc Camoletti’s Boeing Boeing, opening at Lighthouse Poole on 19 May. 

Directed by Michael Cabot, the cast includes Nathalie Barclay as Gabriella, Jo Castleton as Bertha, Isabel Della-Porta as Gloria, Jessica Dennis as Gretchen, John Dorney as Bernard and Paul Sandys as Robert, in a translation by Beverley Cross and Francis Evans.

After Poole, the show will visit Mold, Bath, Eastbourne, Bury St Edmunds, Derby, Guildford, Malvern, Cambridge and Winchester, and Darlington.

Artistic Director Michael Cabot said: “I’m very excited to be working on this wonderful piece with a terrific cast and creative team.  Boeing Boeing is one of the longest running and most successful farces ever written for the stage.  In terms of comedy, it really has got it all - larger than life characters, an improbable plot and an abundance of comic mayhem.  It promises to be great fun, but I also hope we can bring a contemporary twist to the story - the women in the play are definitely no pushover and Bernard will be getting a very powerful taste of his own medicine.”

Paris, 1962. Bernard, a successful architect, has a very complicated love life. His three fiancées, Gloria, Gabriella and Gretchen, work for different airlines with different timetables. With the help of his maid, the long-suffering Bertha, Bernard has somehow managed to keep all three women blissfully unaware of the others’ existence. However, the arrival of an old friend from the provinces and the launch of a new super-fast jet propel Bernard’s carefully constructed plans into comic chaos. Marc Camoletti’s award-winning farce was a West End and Broadway hit and has delighted audiences worldwide for over 50 years.

The production has set and costume design by Bek Palmer and lighting by Matthew Green.
