Production, Performed 14th to 17th November 2001
by
Anthony Marriott and Alistair Foot
Directed by Ken Knight
Laughter is delivered by express mail in this zany farce about the trials and troubles of the mail-order shipping industry. A newlywed bride sends away for some Scandinavian glassware, which she can sell from her home to bolster the family's income. However, what arrives in the mail is so shocking that it must be hidden for obvious reasons. What will the neighbours think? The newlyweds certainly don't want to find out and they create hysterical complications as they try and keep the pleasure package away from some unexpected visitors: a nosy mother-in-law, a bank inspector, a police superintendent and a muddled friend who does everything wrong in his attempt to set everything right. The result is a dizzy string of madcap mix-ups and action-packed chaos that will receive a stamp of approval from audiences of all ages.
