The Hotel Ligger and is written by one of the most played authors in the genre: Ray Cooney. For translation and direction, Sven Melander answers: - It is a fantastically funny play that takes place in a hotel near the Houses of Parliament in London in 1983. We are thus in the iron lady Margaret Thatcher's Britain. Member of Parliament Richard Willey (Fredrik Dolk) checks into the Westminster Hotel with his wife Pamela (Sussie Eriksson). Richard will spend the afternoon preparing for the upcoming morality debate in the House of Commons and has therefore scheduled a meeting with his right-hand man, the charming sleuth George Pigden (Ola Forssmed). Pamela intends to take the opportunity to finally see the matinee performance of the acclaimed musical Evita. On the surface a completely ordinary day. But appearances are deceiving. Richard has planned a little amorous adventure with one of the Prime Minister's secretaries, whose husband is on a skiing holiday. George reluctantly agrees to help Richard with some details. Like booking a room for example. Just for a few hours and in a fake name. However, the choleric hotel manager (Eva Rydberg) senses owls in the bog. And the sleazy and greedy waiter (Kalle Rydberg) touches everything that can be touched. Will there be any tête-à-tête at all.
