It Runs in the Family

Press Release

Wythall Theatre Company present
Ray Cooney's hilarious comedy 'It Runs in the Family'
(by arrangement of Samuel French Ltd.)

Studley Village Hall Theatre
21 to 24 May 2014, daily performances at 7.30pm

"Dr David Mortimore is about to address a neurologists' convention, which will probably earn him a knighthood. While putting the final touches to his speech an old flame, Jane Tate, arrives and announces that their liaison years ago resulted in a son, Leslie, who is downstairs desperate to meet his dad."

"Frantic to hide this catastrophic news 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 colleague Hubert Bonney. Events are further complicated be the presence of a police sergeant, a wandering senile patient, and assortment of matrons (real and otherwise), a syringe full of tranquillizer and costumes for the hospital pantomime!"

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