CONWAY — M&D Playhouse heads back to the jetsetting ’60s with “Boeing Boeing,” a frantic French farce full of laughs, which opened on Thursday, May 18, at the Eastern Slope Inn Playhouse in North Conway, with performances Thursday through Sunday for the next two weeks.
“Boeing Boeing” centers on Bernard (Levi Newbury), an American architect living in Paris, who is engaged to three beautiful flight attendants from different airlines but, because he carefully follows the airlines’ timetables, they never meet or even know about one another. There’s the American Gloria (Mackenzie Hester), the Italian Gabrielle (Cosette Brochu) and the German Gretchen (Tammy Sanderson).
Alec Kerr, entertainment critic for The Conway Daily Sun, discusses M&D Playhouse's production of the 1960s French farce "Boeing Boeing" with actors Frank Thompson and Levi Newbury. Self-styled bachelor Bernard (Newbury) has Italian, German, and American fiancées, each a beautiful airline hostess with frequent “layovers.” They all arrive at the same time, along with Bernard's friend Robert (Thompson).
