Run for Your Wife

This is Charles.  We are having a roitous time with the rehearsals for Run For Your Wife.  We put it on stage this afternoon.  I can't wait to hear all the doors slamming as the cast hits high gear!

This is the director's note I wrote for the program:

Ray Cooney is the best current writer of farce in England. He is author or co-author of Move Over Mrs. Markham, Not Now Darling, Two Into One, Out of Order, Funny Money, Caught in the Net and a host of other gleefully low-brow, but tremendously funny productions. His plays have been so successful, that he owns his runs his own theatre in London. Wikipedia--the ubiquitous source now for everything on line--defines his plays perfectly (and I quote): “Cooney's farces combine a traditional British bawdiness with structural complication, as characters leap to assumptions, are forced to pretend to be things that they aren't, and often talk at cross-purposes to hilarious effect.” I agree. He uses all sorts of stereotypes for his own ever spiraling purposes--never letting political correctness stand in the way of a funny joke. Lucky for us we have a superb company of comedians and designers who think "funny." Rehearsals have been filled with laughter--and all of us together can’t wait to bring you: Run For Your Wife.
