Run For Your Wife

~~Run for your Wife   -  Ray Cooney
I really enjoyed this production directed by John James it was very well cast and I liked the way the stage was split in half to represent each home with a central settee for both ‘rooms’. This is an excellent set with a lot of attention to detail so well done to all those that helped with the making of it.
The audience are in for a treat from the moment the curtain went up with John Smith (Mathew Stone) doing a great job of running a double life going between his two wives lovingly played by Mary Smith (Lisa Siuda) and Barbara Smith (Dawn Cresswell) providing he sticks to his schedule.  You have to follow the story but soon realise that nothing is what it seems and John’s love triangle is about to fall apart before him.
After receiving a bump to the head and being brought home by the police he realises he is with the wrong wife, the other wife meanwhile has now reported him missing to the police and so starts the comedy.
He has to confide in his friend and neighbour Stanley Gardner (Chris Davis) and the lies get deeper and funnier with Stanley thinking he is helping his friend but also making things a lot worse. There are lots of funny moments with everyone playing there parts very well. Detective Sergeant Troughton (Kim Walker) Detective Sergeant Porterhouse (Mike Walker) are good in their roles and Bobby Franklin (John Petroff) has some nice moments and lastly the news reporter (Chris Murray).
Thank you for a great show.
