An amateur production presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.
A hilarious new production of the classic British farce Run for Your Wife, by Ray Cooney and directed by BBC TV Presenter Nick Bailey.
Featuring an ensemble cast of talented amateur actors, the comedy focuses on a South London taxi driver whose life spirals into an extraordinary comic caper of lies, deceit and just plain madness after his deepest, darkest secret comes to light. Staged on a professionally designed set, the action takes place in the early 1980s between two flats, skilfully styled after the sitcom sets of the same era. Jump on board and enjoy a riotous comic ride and discover just how far our taxi driver is prepared to go in his attempt to keep everyone in the dark, including his two wives!
“This production is truly laugh-out-loud and in these testing times the cast, crew and I are thrilled to spread a little joy”
Nick Bailey, Director
