Laughed and laughed, Stanley and Mary stole the show. Loads of fun.
This was classic British farce! I cannot remember the last time I laughed out loud (LOL) non-stop. The acting was fabulous. Top notch performances. Do not miss this delightful theater experience.
This is a great theater and over many years has (since the 1920's or 30's) provided first class entertainment. Unfortunately, this production was not up to the usual standard. Ray Cooney is a very funny playwright but in order for his style of farce to succeed, the acting and especially the timing have to be spot on. Some of the cast were up to the task, but others flubbed their lines and left some embarrassing gaps and silences. What should have been hilarious was mostly only smile inducing. Maybe I chose an off night.
The theater and facilities (parking, refreshments, gallery, etc) are all excellent.

London cab driver John Smith has two homes—and one wife and one child in each house! Maintaining his hectic dual life requires careful scheduling. His secrets are put at risk when his son and daughter meet on an online chat room. When Dad learns that the pair plans to meet, chaos results. In Ray Cooney’s farce, characters are wacky and the action screwball.
