Don’t Drink the Water at Conejo Players Theatre

Don’t Drink the Water, By Woody Allen

Presented through special arrangement with Concord Theatricals Directed by: John Eslick Produced by: Carla Ames Costume Designer: Beth Eslick

A cascade of comedy and a solid hit on Broadway, Don’t Drink the Water takes place inside an American embassy behind the Iron Curtain. An American tourist – a caterer by trade – and his wife and daughter rush into the embassy two steps ahead of the police who suspect them of spying and picture-taking. It’s not much of a refuge – the ambassador is absent and his incompetent son, now in charge, has been expelled from a dozen countries and the continent of Africa. Nevertheless, they carefully and frantically plot their escape, and the ambassador’s son and the caterer’s daughter even have time to fall in love.
