Robin Hawdon - Perfect Wedding

Bill wakes up after his stag party with an attractive stranger in bed beside him. She should disappear soon because it is Bill’s wedding day and the bride will show up any minute! Too late –the best man and bride arrive while the naked girl is still in the bathroom. Bill doesn’t even know that the girl he spent last night with is the girlfriend of his best friend who has come to rescue him with hangover medicine! Perfect Wedding is a contemporary erotic farce, a situation comedy with cunning dialogues and sharp wit. If you need an indication of how funny it is, here you go: the Americans are planning to adapt the play for the big screen – they want fun as in Four Weddings and a Funeral but without a funeral!
