Bernard is hoping to entertain his chic Parisian mistress, Suzy, for the weekend. He has arranged for a cordon bleu cook to furnish the gourmet delights, is in the process of packing his wife, Jacqueline off to her mother and has even invited along his best friend Robert as a suitable alibi. It's foolproof. What could possibly go wrong? Well, suppose Robert turns up without knowing why why he's been invited? Say Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers. Or, how about the cook being mistaken for the mistress who can't cook? Mix all these ingredients and you have the recipe for an evening of hilarious confusion as Bernard and Robert improvise at breakneck speed!

This improbable farce went on in May in Draíocht Studio and was a great success and fun was had by all the cast and crew.

Charles Condomine, whose first wife Elvira has been dead for seven years, has been reasonably happy with his second wife Ruth. After he invites Madame Arcati a local medium, to conduct a seance at their home, Elvira returns from the dead.

Determined to get Charles to herself forever, she arranges several 'accidents', one of which culminates in Ruth joining Elvira. Now plagued by two jealous squabbling spirits, Charles bids them both farewell and his two wives are left petulantly tearing the house apart.

Our Christmas 2005 production of Charles Dickens' famous winters tale was a resounding success as our cast and crew wowed the sell out crowds.

Thanks to our audience for all the support and well done to all those involved in the production.
