From the people who brought you the classic comedies Fools, What the Butler Saw, Nikki Does, The Mind with the Dirty Man, When the Cat’s Away, Mou Mou, and many more, comes ‘Dan the Travelling Man,’ which opens March 30th at the Central Bank Auditorium.

When, due to a series of unfortunate events, a number of Dan’s wives converge on Piarco International Airport at the same time he is catching a flight to go on a ‘business trip’, the comedy ensues. Aided by his versatile and cunning sidekick, Perry, Dan manages to get out of some really tight spots until wives collide and everything turn ole mas! Dan ends up getting what he deserves, but not before some hilarious encounters and master deception, mainly engineered by Perry.
Based on an Advertising Association Award winning radio play of the same name written by The Baggasse Company director, Christine Johnston, ‘Dan the Travelling Man’ stars Cacique Award winning actor, Aaron Schneider as the title character and comic talent Andrew Friday (Fries) as his sidekick Perry with Philomena Alexis Baptiste (Philo) telling the story, in her theatre debut.
