OUT OF ORDER: 27-29 May & 3-5 June 2010
Overview
OUT OF ORDER is another fabulous comedy by that master of farce Ray Cooney, who wrote some of our recent
comedies 'It Runs in the Family' and 'Not Now Darling'. One of the best
Ray Cooney plays, it's fun from beginning to end. Not to be missed!!
Directed by Heather Prouse and Ken Tyrrell.
The Story
When Richard Willey, a Government Junior Minister, plans to spend the evening with Jane Worthington, one of the Opposition's typists, things go disastrously wrong, beginning with the discovery of a "body" trapped in the hotel's only unreliable sash window. Desperately trying to get out of an extremely sticky situation, Richard calls for his PPS, George Pigden who, through Richard's lies sinks further and further into trouble with everybody and ends up going through an identity crisis. Things go from bad to worse with the arrival of Ronnie, Jane's distraught young husband and with the addition of an unscrupulous waiter. Mrs Willey and Nurse Foster things really come to a head!
A hugely successful sequel to Ray Cooney's 'Two into One'. Out of Order received the 1991 Olivier Award for Comedy of the Year.
