A BEDFULL OF FOREIGNERS

The Off-Broadstreet Theatre, 5 South Greenwood Avenue in Hopewell, NJ, will present A BEDFULL OF FOREIGNERS by Dave Freeman. A travelling British couple find themselves sharing their French hotel room with a British business man, his German wife and his French mistress. Adding to the confusion are the hotel proprietor, in Renaissance costume for a local festival, and the porter, who may once have been in the Foreign Legion (or maybe he herded reindeer in Lapland). Bob Thick directs this madcap and tastefully titillating farce.
