“Don’t Dress for Dinner” at The Plaza Arts Center in Eatonton, GA, features six interesting characters. The plot has a number of twists and turns, is full of mixups, false assumptions, and pretensions, all leading to amusement, laughter and hilarity.

On an evening set in an old French country home, six people come together for one reason, only to become part of a twisted dilemma as their individual intentions to do one thing turn into an unexpected and difficult situation. Bernard’s plan for a romantic weekend while his wife Jacqueline goes to visit his mother definitely goes awry and rightfully so. It should be noted that this is a play for mature audiences.
