Written by John Chapman & Ray Cooney this farce is set in the 1960's. The play takes place in a Fur Salon by the name of Bodley, Bodley and Crouch.

 

Gilbert Bodley played by Gary Pritchard is in partnership with Arnold Crouch played by Dexter Whitehead. Gilbert is trying to give a fur coat to his mistress, Janie (Angelique Runnalls-Bould) when she comes into the fur salon with her husband Harry (Richard Clarke), who is having an affair with his secretary Sue Lawson (Kate Lowe and also wants to buy her a coat. The action is disrupted by Commander and Mrs. Frencham (Phil Shaw and Maureen George) who can never seem to meet each other, and have a load of mishaps. Trying to keep everybody sane is the secretary / receptionist of the salon, Miss Tipdale played by Louise Farmer, who has the hardest job of all. All these were well supported by Emma Green, Elena Serafinas and George Turner.

 

Barrie Atchinson did a good job with this play and how the sell out audience laughed out lould.

 

The set dsigners at Sutton Arts did their usual excellent job and costumes fitted the play well.
