Alliance Francaise is one of the best places art has been breed and grown to be appreciated by many well the play...Don’t Dress for Dinner is a frenetic case of mistaken identity with more twists than a corkscrew.
When Jacqueline(Maggie Karanja) decides to visit her mother for a few days, her husband, Bernard(Sam Psenjen), sees an opportunity for a cozy weekend with his new mistress(Idah Alisha). His bachelor pal Robert(Joe Kinyua) calls to announce his return from Kampala, and Bernard invites him along for the night. They also settle on hiring a cook(Nice Githinji) to cater a delicious dinner.
But when Jacqueline realizes Robert(Her Mpango Wa Kando) is coming home, she decides to cancel her trip, a move which changes everything and the high speed farce begins!
One impossible situation leads to another as the hapless friend Robert finds himself the target of both amorous attention from the cook and wrathful vengeance from his mpango wa kando, while Bernard tries desperately to rescue a scrap of illicit bliss from the wreckage of a weekend.
The highest and craziest level of mpango wa kando cover-up comes when two women—both named Suzy(Suzanne and Suzette)— must trade the roles of cook and mistress, just to save someone's face........
Don’t Dress for Dinner, is a hilarious comedy of errors.
