A caterer from New Jersey
takes his family on vacation to a fictional Eastern European country.
The trip turns sour when, thanks to a series of misunderstandings
involving some inopportune snapshots, they are accused of espionage.
The family goes on the run, taking refuge in the American Embassy.
There, with the help of a wily young diplomat, they try to figure out
a way to return to America without sparking an international incident.
Don’t Drink the Water, Woody
Allen’s first play, ran for over a year on Broadway. In the 90’s Allen
wrote and directed the TV adaptation and starred as Walter Hollander,
a Newark caterer, proud to be the first guy to “make the bridegroom
out of potato salad”.
