Bernard is a charming man. He’s an architect. And he has three fiancées (who don’t know about one another and visit him at different times). What could possibly go wrong?

We’ll find out, because thanks to a new speedier jet, all three women come to see him at the same time.

‘Boeing Boeing’, the comedy, which was staged in November at The Junction, is back by popular demand and playing out at the same venue on December 16 and 17.

Written by French playwright Marc Camoletti and translated to English by Beverly Cross and Francis Evans, the production is set in 1960s Paris.  

Asad Raza Khan, who plays the protagonist Bernard, says this is the perfect time to open the show. “Post-Covid travel has now finally gotten normalised. People are travelling to meet friends and family, explore the world, come closer as a human race, and also just to get away. This was the ideal time to do a play about airline and airhostesses. We also wanted to do this comedy just so that people can get a break from all the chaos happening around and hope to leave a smile on their faces,” he laughs.

The details:

Tickets to  Boeing Boeing, which runs at The Junction in Alserkal Avenue from December 16-17, start at Dh100.
