Would I need to see Boeing Boeing to understand Don't Dress for Dinner? Is it necessary because I bought tickets for it and then I found out it is a sequel! And would anyone know if it is okay for a teenager? Thanks!
It's not REALLY a sequel. It just has the same two lead male characters.
In BOEING BOEING, Bernard is sleeping with three "air hostesses" at the same time. His friend Robert gets caught up in the mess and tries to help Bernard avoid getting caught.
In DON'T DRESS FOR DINNER, Bernard is now married, and also has a mistress. His friend Robert gets caught up in the mess and tries to help Bernard avoid getting caught.
By the way, Camoletti also wrote three other "Bernard and Robert" plays.
I saw Boeing-Boeing on Broadway and Tillinger's Don't Dress For Dinner in Chicago and was actually struck by how completely unrelated the plays are. Robert especially is a totally different character. BTW, I think that DDFD is actually a superior script.
