We here at NC Stage love farce. Last year we had Joe Orton's What the Butler Saw, and in our earlier years we produced Loot, also by Orton. The first play Scott & Charlie ever performed in together was one of Marc Camoletti's other famous plays, Don't Dress for Dinner. Both are fans of the genre and have keen acting skills for farce. So, today, we have a little treat: I've asked Charlie to interview Scott about farce and why they both love it. Enjoy!
from the 'Bedroom farce' Wikipedia article:
"Boeing Boeing is a classic French farce for the stage by Marc Camoletti. Monopolizing on most of the conventions of farce's canon, it concerns a Parisian playboy bachelor with three international stewardess fiancées he secretly keeps in careful rotation until their flight schedules change and he, along with his provincial friend and sassy maid, must keep them from finding out about each other. Lucky they have enough doors in the apartment to keep the girls unwittingly flitting about for two hours."
