Dokonalá svatba
A recording of a theater performance by the Brno City Theater from 2010. On the morning before his wedding, Bill wakes up in bed after a night he doesn't remember, with a girl he doesn't remember, and he doesn't even remember what happened between them. And the girl says a lot. There is nothing left to do but immediately hide her in the bathroom and, with the generous help of best man Tom and poor maid Julie, who accidentally got involved, try to keep everything secret from the bride and her mother, while the joyfully drinking father begins to cause slight complications for the hotel staff. Everything gets even more complicated when Tom finds out which girl spent the night with Bill.
