Prepare to be swept to the beautiful French Riviera for a night of sumptuous sets and costumes, and endless laughs thanks to the impeccable comedic timing of its two male leads. This touring production stars Michael Praed, Carly Stenson and the effervescent Gary Wilmott!

What is Dirty Rotten Scoundrels About?

Sophisticated and oh-so suave conman Lawrence Jameson's luxury lifestyle comes crashing down when larger-than-life Freddy Benso arrives on his turf - the highly lucrative Summer season on the French riviera. A completely different type of conman altogether, Benso makes up for what he lacks in charm and style with all-American brashness and a tenacity even Jameson initially finds intimidating.

Soon, the two swindlers find themselves going head to head in the con of their lives, pulling out all of the stops in a bid to win the affections Christine Colgate, a beautiful millionaire soap heiress who might just have a few tricks of her own up her (perfectly styled) sleeve. Do they have any idea what they're in for?
