This hilarious sequel to Run For Your Wife finds 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. 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-spiraling situation gets increasingly out-of-hand as John & Stanley desperately struggle to juggle with the truth.

With seven doors, three phones and over 50 sound cues, its busy busy busy - but what else would you expect from a first rate farce?
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!
