a farce by Joan Greening

Directed by: Lachlan Blackwell and Mike Phillips

Synopsis

Farce aims to entertain through situations that are highly unlikely and extravagant and thus improbable, and this play has all those ingredients and more. Mike’s pleasant evening with his girlfriend is shattered by the arrival of his brother, whose wife has thrown him out. To make matters worse the unexpected arrival of another girlfriend, followed closely by his own mother, and then the antics of the next door neighbour completely undermines what he had planned for the evening, and in a situation of mistaken identities and double takes, everyone involved tries to remove themselves from the firing line, with very little success.
