Dinner Theatre: Don’t Drink the Water

A cascade of comedy and a solid hit on Broadway in 1966. This crazy Woody Allen comedy/farce takes place in an unnamed country somewhere behind the iron curtain. It is the story of an American tourist, his wife and daughter who rush into the U.S. embassy two steps ahead of the secret police who suspect them of spying and taking pictures in an unauthorized area. In order to stay out of jail, the Hollanders take refuge in the American Embassy, which is temporarily being run by the absent ambassador’s diplomatically incompetent son. The plot thickens as they carefully and frantically plan their escape. The ambassador’s son and the Hollander’s daughter even have time to fall in love.
