A FESTIVAL OF CREATIVE ARTS PRODUCTION @ ALLIANCE FRANCAISE
30 SEPT-2 OCT FRI 30 AT 6:30 SAT & SUN AT 3 & 6:30PM
Extremely hilarious comedy No Dinner for Sinners charts a hectic Satur-day in the life of a good-looking stockbroker, Jim, Kenya manager for INVESTCO Stockbrokers Ltd, a subsidiary of INVESTCO Plc, a big UK In-vestment company. INVESTCO Stockbrokers Ltd is listed as a brokerage firm on the Nairobi Stock Exchange.
Tonight Bill, the UK head of his firm is coming to dinner in Jim’s smart Nairobi flat. And Bill is an in-tolerant puritan, President of Mor-al Outrage, and steadfastly op-posed to the Permissive Society. He expects all his staff to be respecta-bly married.
Bachelor Jim had assumed that Helen, his glamorous live-in lover would pose as his wife. But after some romantic disagreement at breakfast, Helen announces she’s leaving him. She’s off on a model-ling job and won’t be back.
To keep his job, Jim must find a wife for the evening. But where? His dating book is out of date, and all his old girl friends seem to have married or emigrated. His devoted secretary Terri would do it. But she has a dress rehearsal for a leading role with her amateur players.
In desperation Jim recruits his cleaning lady, Edna, who’ll do any-thing for money and quite a lot for small change. At least she’ll know how to cook the dinners.
Then just as the Bill and his wife, Nancy, arrive, some ladies change their minds, as ladies do. And sud-denly, instead of no wife at all, Jim has three, all needing to be kept apart, and explained away to the belligerent Bill.
And in the kitchen, things are go-ing alarmingly wrong …
