'It Runs In The Family' - Our November 2007 Production

Jeff Graves, our King of Farce with such notable successes as 'Habeas Corpus' and 'Trivial Pursuits' to name but a few, is soon to be directing ANOTHER! Jeff's choice of play this time is 'It Runs In The Family' by Ray Cooney. See below for play and character information.

But firstly check the calendar for audition and rehearsal dates.

Play Synopsis

Dr David Mortimore is about to address a neurologists convention, when old flame Jane Tate arrives and announces that their liaison years ago resulted in a child. Frantic to hide the truth from his wife and the hospital authorities, David is forced to invent not one but two non-existent husbands for Jane, and enlist the help of his colleagues. Events are further complicated by the presence of a police sergeant, a wandering senile patient, an assortment of matrons and costumes from the hospital pantomime!

This hilarious farce in the true Cooney tradition, enjoyed a spectacular success at the Playhouse Theatre, London.
