BANG BANG! Pics

Here are a few production shots from our previous cover story: John Cleese’s new farce based on Georges Feydeau’s 19th Century comedy, Monsieur Chasse (Mister Hunting), starring Tessa Peake-Jones, Tony Gardner and Wendi Peters.
Tessa will be instantly recognisable to readers all over the country as Raquel from Only Fools and Horses.
In her own words: “It’s about a couple who live in Paris. They’ve been married quite a while and the excitement of their marriage has… ‘eased’ shall we say. Unbeknown to my character, Leontine, her husband, Duchotel [Tony Gardner], keeps making an excuse that he’s going hunting, but he’s really having an affair. So the story he tells his wife is just to cover his ground and make an excuse. He has a friend who is a doctor [Moricet – played by Richard Earle], who just happens to be in love with my character. They are having, what is best described as – a flirtation, and he arrives right at the start, even before the husband has left. So immediately there is a situation where one person should have already gone and the other two can’t discuss anything in front of them… and it goes from there really.
