A funny, touching and thought-provoking
comedy set in an English vicarage garden in the present day. The play centres
on Grace, a clergy wife who has spent a lifetime on her best behaviour. Now,
following the death of her husband Bardolph, she is enjoying the new-found
freedom of being able to do and say exactly as she pleases. But the return of
her eccentric missionary sister, Ruth, together with some disturbing
revelations forces Grace to confront the truth of her
marriage. Entertaining Angels starred Penelope Keith when it ran for
two sell-out UK tours in 2009.
A gentle light entertainment for a summer’s
evening.

This hilarious sequel to Run For Your
Wife finds bigamist taxi-driver, John Smith, still keeping both his
families happy and blissfully unaware of each other. But disaster
threatens when his two teenage children – a girl by one wife and a boy by the
other wife – meet on the Internet. Intrigued that they have so much in common -
surname, taxi-driver dad of the same age etc, they are determined to meet, and
when John realises his goose is about to be cooked, he plunges into a hell-hole
of his own making in order to keep them apart. His saviour could be
Stanley, his somewhat dim-witted lodger. But Stanley is about to go on
holiday with his decrepit old father, who turns up thinking he is already at
the guest house … The ever-spiralling situation gets increasingly
out-of-hand as John desperately struggles to juggle with the truth.
Here’s what the papers said at the time:
“… fanciful and brilliant, this is the
funniest play of the year…”
“Cooney gives you a masterclass in the art
of farce…the perfectly potty plot is a precision-built laughter machine.”
“… a sheer joy from beginning to end.”
So if you if you fancy an evening of
amusement and laughter, come and see Caught in the Net.
