Out of Order

Theatrecraft is excited to announce that we will be bringing Out of Order to The Whitstable Playhouse from 9th to 11th April 2026. A classic British farce bursting with quick-fire dialogue, physical comedy and gloriously tangled situations.

When Richard Willey, a junior government minister, plans a secret evening with a typist from the opposition, he gets far more than he bargained for. A body appears halfway through the window of their London hotel suite, setting off a chain of frantic cover-ups, mistaken identities and increasingly desperate improvisations.

Doors slam, tempers fray and lies multiply in this award-winning comedy from Ray Cooney, the master of British farce. Expect pace, precision and plenty of laughter as chaos reigns in the corridors of power
