Written by Ray Cooney
Ian Dickens Productions are proud to present a national tour of Ray Cooney's hilarious farce Run for your Wife with an all star cast including Melvyn Hayes (Bombadier 'Gloria' Beaumont in It Ain't Half Hot Mum); Mark Wingett, one of the UK's most recognisable faces from his roles in Quadrophenia and Breaking Glass right up to his 21 years as PC Carver in The Bill, Paul Henry (best known for his role of Benny in the soap opera Crossroads, Barry Howard (Barry Stuart-Hargreaves, the championship ballroom dancer in BBC TV's hugely popular series Hi-De-Hi; long standing company favourite David Callister; Michelle Morris (The Knock) and West End star Tiffany Graves.
John Smith is a London cabbie with his own taxi, a wife in Streatham, a wife in Wimbledon-and a knife-edge schedule! By strict adherence to this schedule, he has been a succesful, if tired, bigamist for three years, but one day, gallently intervening in a mugging, he is taken to hospital with mild concussion. In the ensuing complications, aided by an unwilling Stanley, John tries bravely to cope with a succession of well-meaning but prying policemen, the press, two increasingly irate wives and a very gay neighbour, until he manfully confesses the truth-but noone believes him!
Run for your Wife is perhaps the world's most famous modern farce and is directed by Ian Dickens whose production and company will deliver an evening of riotous entertainment for all.
‘A frolic? It's much more than that, it is a triumph. The brilliance of the structure, the imaginative joy, the scope for comic acting put this entertainment at the top of the hardest of all theatrical trees to climb - that of farce.’
Daily Telegraph
‘Treasure the moments of pure farce.’
