Perfect Wedding – by Robin Hawdon
February 17-27, 2022

Farce, Romantic Comedy
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. The only way out of the dilemma is to persuade the best man to pretend that the hidden girl is his girl friend.
By the time the bride’s parents and half the hotel staff get in on the act, the chaos reaches nuclear proportions! You’ll be rolling in the aisles with laughter at this ‘Perfect Wedding’!
