TOURS 2010

Tour #6 - “SEE HOW THEY RUN” - by Phillip King, Victoria Playhouse, Petrolia

See How They Run is a true British farce, written in the 1940’s to entertain British troops in WWII.  It has all the necessary elements of the farce: a prim and proper local spinster who is sure the Vicar’s wife is having an affair, with a myriad of other eccentric characters, and of course, the requisite mistaken identities. Indeed, the Vicar’s wife has a sketchy past – she was an actress until she married the Vicar, and she was seen brazenly waving at a soldier.  But her uncle is a Bishop and he is coming to visit.  Unfortunately the Vicar won’t be preaching this Sunday when the Bishop visits; a travelling clergyman will be taking the pulpit.  Add to this a crazy maid, a Russian spy and a cop.  What more could one want in a farce?  For fans of the British farce, this show offers laugh-out-loud fun.
