                                                     A PLAY BY
                                               ROBIN HAWDON


On a very rainy Sunday afternoon, The Travelling Toe and Dear Friend, navigated the confusing Dallas super highway system to make our way to Plano.  We were on route for some lunch and then to see a play presented by Theatre Britain.  The play, "Perfect Wedding" was written by Robin Hawdon.  


Theatre Britain Mission Statement

Theatre Britain seeks to promote British theatre in its many and varied forms with particular emphasis on the unique medium of British pantomime (panto).


Robin Hawdon
Playwright
The play is described on Mr. Hawdon's website as follows: 
An appalling situation. A bridegroom wakes on his wedding morning in his own bridal suite, with his bride-to-be about to arrive any moment, and finds a strange girl in bed beside him. What’s more an extremely attractive girl whom, in the depths of his post stag-night hangover, he can’t remotely remember even having been introduced to. Worse - during the ensuing panic to get the stranger dressed and out of the way, the bride arrives, the girl is trapped in the bathroom, the best man pretends the hidden girl is his girl friend, his real girl friend has to be kept ignorant of the fact, and the hotel chamber maid gets mistaken for everybody’s girl friend! By the time the bride’s parents and half the hotel staff get in on the act, the chaos reaches nuclear proportions! It is that rare combination - a riotous comedy and a touching love story at the same time.
The Travelling Toe and Dear Friend both loved this play.  It was so funny seeing how the main character, Bill, tried to get himself out of trouble but only digging himself into a bigger hole!! So who ended up with who at the end of the play and was the wedding perfect?  Well, Dear Readers, you will just have to go see this play yourself to find out!
The actors were excellent and really kept their British accents going throughout the play, even when the action was heated!!!  Fun for all!
