In the exclusive London fur salon of Bodley and Crouch, Crouch is a well-meaning innocent, while Bodley is a married lech and philanderer. Poor Crouch always gets caught in the middle of suspicious wives, mistresses, and mistaken identities. Rapid-fire jokes and hilarious doings keep this brew bubbly! This farce broke all box office records in London and Paris before moving to Broadway.

If you've seen a British sex farce with a drop dead gorgeous cast (male and female) you'll be disappointed here. A play that is based on people's foibles regarding sex, lust and infidelity requires a cast that is believable in those terms. Long Beach Playhouse has had such casts before, but this looks like a casting director's nightmare. It's still a funny play with some good moments but about as titillating as an old sock.

Great Play. Loved the venue, not a bad seat in the house and a parking lot.

Description

A madcap British farce about mistresses and minks in the London fur salon of Bodley, Bodley, and Crouch. Gilbert Bodley plans to sell an expensive mink to a mobster dirt cheap for his wife, because the wife is Gilbert's mistress and he wants to "close the deal." However, instead of doing his own dirty work, he gets his reluctant partner, Arnold Crouch, to do it for him. Things go awry when the mobster plans to buy it for his OWN mistress and soon the whole plan goes out the window along with women's clothing and a few other things. Mistaken identities, scantily clad women kept hidden in closets, mobsters, suspicious wives, and misguided shoppers keep this comedy trucking along in the spirit of the Marx Brothers' and Noises Off.
