Why we like it
"Robin Hawdon's 'Perfect Wedding' delivers a delightful farce filled with mistaken identities and romantic entanglements that keep audiences laughing till the end."
From: Romantic Comedies for the StageSynopsis
Comedy Characters: 2 male, 4 female Interior Set A man wakes up in the bridal suite on his wedding morning to find an extremely attractive naked girl in bed beside him.
In the depths of a stag night hangover, he can't even remember meeting her.
Before he can get her out, his bride to be arrives to dress for the wedding and, in the ensuing panic, the girl is locked in the bathroom.
The best man is persuaded to claim her, but he gets confused and introduces the chamber maid to the bride as his date.
The crisis escalates to nuclear levels by the time the mother of the bride and the best man's actual girlfriend arrive.
This rare combination of riotous farce and touching love story has provoked waves of laughter across Europe and America.

Press Reviews
"Laughs abound in the American premiere... It all works out in the end, but not before playgoers have aching sides."
— Wisconsin Advocate
"Funny without being deep, titillating without being dirty... warp-speed back-and-forth dialogue as characters skitter and scamper through this maze of a sitcom... The full-house audience roared with delight."
— Green Bay Gazette
"The audience is left aching with laughter... It makes for a crazy, wonderful evening."
— Bonn Schaufenster, Germany
"A splendid evening in the theatre... met with lengthy applause and shouts of approval."
— Vienna Donnerstag, Austria
"At the Stage Molot Theatre the audience laughed continuously for two hours, and then gave long applause. An excellent sitcom – the first of its kind at the Stage Molot Theatre. Hopefully not the last."
